An understanding of global supply chains is essential for modern portfolio diversification. Living standards and social developments depend crucially on a secure supply of raw materials. This includes indium, as it is essential for the semiconductor industry, the production of LEDs and for touchscreens and flat screens, in which indium tin oxide (ITO) is indispensable as a conductive layer.
Market forecasts show: Demand is growing, interest from industry, business and politics is steadily increasing - and at the same time the availability of indium remains limited. Geological, economic or political circumstances can cause supply bottlenecks and the supply situation is considered critical. The fact that there are opportunities for value appreciation here makes indium an exciting physical asset and an intelligent addition to a portfolio.
