Market Overview Q3 Ending September 2025
Northeast Asia: Selenium prices in Northeast Asia increased modestly this quarter, supported by firm demand from the glass manufacturing and electronics industries. The selenium price index trended upward as producers faced moderate tightening in regional supply amid steady output from copper refineries. Increased consumption in photovoltaic applications also lent support to the market. While overall availability remained stable, logistical challenges and consistent demand from downstream industries contributed to the region’s positive pricing sentiment throughout the quarter.
North America: In North America, selenium prices rose slightly, with the selenium price index reflecting stronger buying interest from metallurgy and solar panel manufacturing sectors. The market experienced a mild upward push as refined selenium availability tightened due to lower by-product recovery from copper operations. Consistent demand from glass coloring, animal feed, and electronics applications further supported the price increase. Although macroeconomic factors limited broader industrial activity, stable procurement by key end-users maintained a firm market tone.

Product Description
Selenium (Se) is a nonmetallic element with semiconductor properties, appearing as a gray or red crystalline solid depending on its allotropic form. It is primarily obtained as a by-product of copper refining processes. Selenium exhibits unique photoconductive and photovoltaic characteristics, making it valuable in glass manufacturing, electronics, and solar cell production. In the glass industry, it serves as a decolorizing agent and a colorant for red or pink hues. It is also incorporated in alloys, rectifiers, and photocells due to its ability to conduct electricity under light exposure. In agriculture and animal feed, selenium compounds act as essential micronutrients that support metabolic and antioxidant functions. Its broad industrial, electronic, and nutritional applications underscore its importance in modern manufacturing and technology.
