The Availability of Indium: The Present, Medium Term, and Long Term
- Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO (United States)
Demand for indium is likely to increase if the growth in deployment of the copper-indium-gallium-selenide (CIGS) and III-V thin-film photovoltaic technologies accelerates. There are concerns about indium supply constraints since it is relatively rare element in the earth's crust and because it is produced exclusively as a byproduct.
