During the third quarter of 2026, the gallium prices in the UK reached 289 USD/KG in September. Prices moved upward through the quarter as buyers faced firmer replacement costs for imported high-purity metal. Availability of well specified material stayed limited, with few qualified suppliers able to serve contract volumes. Steady procurement from semiconductor and optoelectronic users kept offtake consistent and absorbed the volumes offered into the spot market. Distributors maintained lean inventories, which restricted the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery. Freight and handling charges on inbound cargo added to delivered values across the quarter, reinforcing the upward tone.
During the third quarter of 2026, the gallium prices in the USA reached 219 USD/KG in September. Prices moved upward as domestic users accepted firmer offers from suppliers holding limited prompt availability of high-purity metal. Buying interest from compound semiconductor and device manufacturers stayed steady, which kept the volumes moving through contract channels rather than accumulating in inventory. Suppliers showed little willingness to discount given the narrow pool of qualified sources able to meet specification. Distributors kept inventories conservative, reducing flexibility for buyers seeking immediate delivery. Handling and documentation requirements for high-purity metal lengthened lead times and encouraged earlier ordering.
During the third quarter of 2026, the gallium prices in China reached 261 USD/KG in September. Prices increased as domestic producers held firm on offers while availability of well specified material remained tight through the quarter. Export enquiries kept procurement active and reduced the volume of material circulating in the local spot market. Downstream users in optoelectronic and semiconductor applications continued regular purchasing despite the firmer cost base. Suppliers stayed disciplined on quotations and showed limited interest in discounting for prompt business. Logistics constraints at major ports added to delivered values for buyers moving cargo to overseas destinations, supporting the upward tone across the period.
During the third quarter of 2026, the gallium prices in India reached 237 USD/KG in September. Prices advanced as import dependent buyers faced firmer landed costs for material sourced from established overseas producers. Limited domestic availability kept the market reliant on imported volumes, so movements in overseas quotations passed quickly into local offers. Steady procurement from optoelectronic device makers and semiconductor users absorbed available material and kept offtake consistent. Currency movements against supplying nations added to procurement costs for buyers managing foreign denominated purchases. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery and reinforced the firmer tone.
During the third quarter of 2026, the gallium prices in Canada reached 223 USD/KG in September. Prices climbed as cross border availability tightened and replacement costs rose across the North American supply chain. Canadian buyers faced firmer regional offers as strong demand in the USA absorbed available volumes and reduced export flexibility for shippers. Processors serving semiconductor and optoelectronic segments maintained steady procurement despite the firmer pricing environment. Distributors kept inventories lean, which limited the volume of prompt material available for immediate delivery. Suppliers held firm on offers given the restricted availability through the quarter, reinforcing the upward tone.

Europe Gallium Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The gallium price index in Europe moved upward through the quarter, supported by firmer replacement costs for imported high-purity metal and steady demand from semiconductor and optoelectronic users. The UK, the region's principal trading market for the metal, recorded firmer quotations as buyers maintained regular procurement despite firmer supplier offers. European consumers depend heavily on imported gallium, so firmer offers in supplying markets feed quickly into landed costs. Availability of well specified high-purity material stayed limited, and only a small number of qualified suppliers can serve large contracts. Purchasers therefore secured forward coverage rather than relying on spot deliveries, which added to the firmness of quotations. Distributors kept inventories lean, restricting the volume of prompt material available to non contract buyers. Documentation and handling requirements for high-purity metal lengthened lead times and encouraged earlier ordering. Demand from compound semiconductor crystal growers and device manufacturers remained resilient despite the firmer cost base. Currency movements against supplying nations added further uncertainty to procurement costs across the region, reinforcing the upward tone through the quarter.

North America Gallium Price Trend
Q3 2026:
The gallium price index in North America moved upward during the quarter, reflecting firmer replacement costs and steady downstream demand. The USA, the largest consuming market in the region, recorded firmer quotations as semiconductor and optoelectronic users maintained active procurement of available material. Canada followed the same direction, with cross border buyers facing firmer replacement costs as strong demand in the USA absorbed exportable supply. Availability of well specified high-purity metal stayed limited, which restricted the volumes offered for prompt delivery. Domestic supply covers only part of regional requirements, leaving buyers exposed to movements in overseas quotations. Distributors kept inventories conservative, which reduced flexibility for buyers seeking immediate delivery. Logistics arrangements at ports and border crossings extended delivery times and encouraged forward purchasing. Demand from compound semiconductor and device manufacturing customers remained consistent across the quarter. Suppliers held firm on offers given the tighter prompt market, reinforcing the upward direction through the period.

Product Description
Gallium is a soft, silvery post-transition metal with the chemical symbol and formula Ga; it is a single element, traded as a refined high-purity metal in ingot, pellet or shot form. It melts just above room temperature and stays liquid over a wide range, so it can be handled as a liquid metal. It supercools readily, wets glass and ceramics and alloys with most metals, forming only a thin surface oxide in air. The electronics industry is its principal consumer, followed by optoelectronics. Industrial applications include compound semiconductor crystal growth, high-frequency electronics and specialty alloying. End uses include gallium arsenide and gallium nitride wafers for radio-frequency circuits, light-emitting diodes and power devices, copper indium gallium diselenide solar cells, and low-melting alloys and thermal interface materials. It is obtained by recovery from sodium aluminate liquors of the Bayer alumina process and from zinc ore residues.
