半導体産業と米国におけるゲルマニウムとガリウムのサプライチェーンリスク
China's recent decision to restrict graphite exports underscores its position as a major producer of the highly-valued mineral. This move highlights its pivotal role in the supply chain for essential minerals needed for EV production, especially at a time of skyrocketing demand for EV batteries, with enormous implications for the global electric vehicle industry.
China's curbs on exports of gallium and germanium products choked off international shipments of the chipmaking metals for a second consecutive month, customs data for September showed on Friday. China's exports of wrought germanium products stood at 1 kilogram, versus zero in August after a flurry of buying prior to the restrictions saw shipments of wrought products surge to 8.63 metric tons in July. Under the customs code for "germanium oxides and zirconium dioxide", the data showed exports of 1,420 tons in September, versus 1,034 tons in August.
