How it reaches your house.
Starting from JSC Germanium (АО «Германий»), we walked the supply graph hop by hop to the goods you buy and the companies you own. Each step is the engine’s reasoning, scored for confidence and cited where a source backs it.
First impact
JSC Germanium (АО «Германий») →Shortage riskGermanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4)
A production halt at JSC Germanium would reduce its direct contribution to Germanium Tetrachloride supply, though the effect is capped by the edge's 2% market share despite very low substitutability and long replacement lead time.
84% confidenceGintek Alaşım (Ferroboron) →Prices easeIron (Fe) and Ferroboron (FeB)
If Gintek Alaşım’s ferroboron output is constrained by the Altai metallurgy downturn, its demand for iron and ferroboron inputs falls; the effect is limited by the edge’s 8% share and moderate substitutability.
57% confidenceHop 2
Iron (Fe) and Ferroboron (FeB) →Shortage riskRare earth magnets depend on this input, so a 35.2% cut in metallurgical output can tighten their feedstock supply.
87% confidenceGermanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4) →Shortage riskFiber optic cables and networking
GeCl4 is a critical, high-dependency input for fiber optic cables and networking, so a production drop should tighten supply quickly.
86% confidenceGermanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4) →Shortage riskHop 3
Teck Resources →Shortage riskGermanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4)
The Altai-region production drop reduces supply of GeCl4 feeding Teck Resources; although this source is not sole, the low substitutability and 12-month replacement lead time make the input shortage meaningful.
80% confidenceYunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co. →Shortage riskGermanium Tetrachloride (GeCl4)
The company’s GeCl4 relationship carries a 15% share with very low substitutability, so an upstream production halt should curtail its GeCl4 output and tighten supply.
62% confidenceTurkey →Shortage risk
