SMM News, May 28: According to recent market reports, prices of high-purity gallium (6N and above) in the European market have surged sharply recently, with spot trading prices standing at around $2,350 per kilogram. A senior insider in the gallium industry stated in an interview that the bulk spot transaction price of 6N high-purity gallium exported by their company has exceeded $2,300 per kilogram. This clearly reflects the acute shortage of high-purity gallium supply across overseas markets.
