Market Overview:
The global germanium-oxide market is expected to grow at a CAGR of XX% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in the market can be attributed to the increasing demand for optical materials, catalysts, inhibitors and dietary supplements. Additionally, rising awareness about the benefits of germanium-oxide is also contributing to the growth of this market. Some of the key players operating in this market are Advanced Germanium Technologies Inc., American Elements, Beijing Germanium Co Ltd., China Minmetals Corporation and others.
Product Definition:
Germanium oxide (GeO2) is a compound of germanium and oxygen. It occurs naturally as the mineral germanite and can also be prepared synthetically. Germanium oxide has a number of applications, including as an optical material, a catalyst, and in electronics.
Crystalline Forms:
Crystalline forms are the solid form of an element and they have a perfect shape that is recognized by the X-ray diffraction. Crystalline forms are used in semiconductors, insulators, transistors & other electronic components as well as in catalysts for chemical reactions. The growth factor of crystalline forms is high consumption rate and low production rate which leads to increase in costumers due to limited supply resulting into high market price.
Amorphous Forms:
Amorphous forms are the most stable structures that can be achieved with Germanium. It has been known since 1803 that germanium can exist in amorphous as well as crystalline forms. However, it was not until recently (in the last 30 years) that scientists were able to produce large quantities of amorphous germanium and study its properties.
Application Insights:
The optical material segment dominated the global germanium-oxide market in terms of revenue share in 2017. The growth can be attributed to rising demand for high-quality glass products from a variety of end-use industries including optoelectronics and automotive. Optical materials are used as components in various devices such as lenses, spectacles, and prisms that enable people to see objects more clearly.
In 1885, Friedrich August König developed the first compound semiconductor using GeO 2 (graphene) as a layer insulator which was followed by its applications in electronic devices such as capacitors and resistors during the early 20th century. Electronic equipment uses it for manufacturing integrated circuits or chips that contain thousands of transistors connected together through wires known technically as interconnects or contacts; these interconnections result into switches & sensors that perform different functions within an electronic device thus making it useful.
Regional Analysis:
Germany accounted for the largest share of over 40% in 2017. The presence of a large number of producers coupled with high consumption in industrial and technological applications is expected to drive the demand for germanium-oxide products over the forecast period.
The market in Europe was valued at USD X million in 2017, wherein Germany accounted for a major share owing to its well-established manufacturing sector and advanced technology. In addition, increasing R&D activities by various organizations are likely to propel product demand from 2018 to 2030.
China emerged as one of the leading consumers due to rapid industrialization along with an increase in foreign investments towards research activities on germanium compounds across this region is anticipated boost market growth over the forecast period.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from the optoelectronics and semiconductor industries for Germanium-oxide based products.
- Growing demand for Germanium-oxide in optical fiber communication systems owing to its superior properties such as low attenuation, low dispersion and high nonlinearity coefficient.
- Rising use of Germanium-oxide in infrared optics and detectors due to its excellent thermal conductivity and broadband spectral response range.
- Increasing application of Germanium-oxide in solar energy systems due to its high absorption coefficient in the visible light region 5) Growing demand for nanostructured materials across various end user industries
