@timofeyGallium is the specialty metal powering semiconductors, LEDs, telecommunications, solar cells, and advanced electronics. The numbers for 2023 mine production come straight from World Mining Data 2025. Only four countries reported any output that year. China produced 701 tonnes of gallium. Russia contributed 6 tonnes. Japan made 3 tonnes. South Korea also produced 3 tonnes. When you add those up, total global reported production for 2023 reached 713 tonnes. This means China represented 98.32% of the reported global gallium output in 2023. If you combine China and Russia, they accounted for 99.16% of global gallium production in 2023. These figures are part of the Worldly Original Content series and production is measured in metric tonnes.
