OVERVIEW
In 2025, the global minor metals market continued to undergo structural adjustments, with prices of key metals such as indium, bismuth, germanium, and gallium showing divergent trends. Indium prices remained volatile at high levels amid supply-demand adjustments; bismuth prices entered a consolidation phase after reaching a historic high of RMB 200,000 per tonne; the germanium market experienced a healthy correction under the combined influence of policy regulation and rationalized downstream demand; while gallium production capacity continued to expand, pushing prices closer to cost levels and intensifying industry competition. Standing at the starting point of a new cycle and facing the dual challenges of market restructuring and industrial upgrading, Asian Metal sincerely invites industry elites from around the world to gather in Nanning to discuss emerging trends, explore new opportunities, and seek win–win cooperation for the high-quality development of the minor metals industry.
With the first forum hosted by Asian Metal in 2008, the annual In Bi Ge Ga Forum has been witnessing active participation of around 150 countries from all over the world. Recognized by all insiders as the “No. 1 forum in indium, bismuth, germanium, and gallium industries”, the forum has been successfully held for 17 years in Changsha, Nanjing, Kunming, Ningbo, Sanya, Zhuhai, Hangzhou, Qingdao, etc. The past honor is history, new glory lies in front of us. Let us welcome the coming 18th gathering to jointly write a new chapter and start a new journey.
The 18th In Bi Ge Ga Forum would be held in Nanning, China on April 23-24, 2026. The forum will provide a face-to-face opportunity for market participants to meet new clients, maintain regular clients, discuss and share market situation, and listen to brilliant analysis and insightful views from insiders on market focus and hot topics, in order to inspire wisdom and seize opportunities.
