Philippines` tellurium import shipments in 2024 continued to see a significant level of concentration, with top exporting countries being Germany, China, Japan, USA, and Hong Kong. The Herfindahl-Hirschman Index (HHI) remained at a very high level, indicating strong market dominance. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period 2020-2024 stood at a robust 9.7%, showcasing sustained growth in demand for tellurium. Moreover, the impressive growth rate of 89.36% from 2023 to 2024 highlights a surge in import shipments, potentially driven by various factors such as technological advancements or supply chain dynamics.

In the Asia region, the Tellurium market in Philippines is projected to expand at a exponential growth rate of 44.35% by 2027. The largest economy is China, followed by India, Japan, Australia and South Korea.

The market for tellurium in the Philippines is growing. The demand for tellurium has increased due to its use in various industrial applications such as steel alloys, electronic components and solar cells. The market is projected to reach USD 318 million, registering a CAGR of 4.3% during the forecast period. The main countries driving this growth are China, Japan, India, South Korea and Taiwan.
Tellurium`s significance in electronics, solar technology, and metallurgy has driven the Philippines tellurium market. With the increasing demand for renewable energy solutions, tellurium`s role in thin-film photovoltaics has led to its prominence in the country`s sustainable energy efforts. Additionally, its applications in alloys contribute to the growth of the metallurgical sector.
Tellurium holds significance in the solar energy and electronics industries. Challenges faced by the Philippines tellurium market include the limited availability of tellurium resources and its potential impact on the cost and supply of photovoltaic technologies. Developing efficient recycling methods and exploring alternative materials are critical for the sustainability of this market.
The Philippines tellurium market, a key source of tellurium for various industries including electronics, solar energy, and metallurgy, was not immune to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The lockdowns and supply chain interruptions impacted the availability of tellurium, affecting industries that rely on its unique properties. As the pandemic subsided and economic activities resumed, the tellurium market strove to recover, driven by the resurgence in demand from technology-driven sectors.
The tellurium market in the Philippines is relatively small compared to other countries like China or India where it is widely used for various industrial applications. However, it plays an important role when it comes to advanced materials production since tellurium has unique properties which makes it ideal for certain uses such as electrical conductivity improvement or alloying with copper or lead alloys used for soldering purposes. Most of the tellurium consumed locally is imported either from Europe or Asia Pacific region depending on availability at competitive prices and timely deliveries. Major suppliers present here include Advanced Refractory Technologies (ART) located within Special Economic Zone Authority (SEZ); Dowa Holdings Company; Materion Corporation; Umicore SA; GFS Chemicals Inc.; Nurchem Technology Sdn Bhd among others who supply both raw material (tellurite ore concentrates) as wellas processed forms like ingots/shots/pellets etc. Other than these key players there are several local traders involved too who mainly act as brokers between buyers/sellers thus helping meet customized demands according to customer requirements while keeping prices low at same time.
