Who Actually Places Kilogram-Scale Tellurium Orders
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar panel manufacturers are the dominant modern buyer — First Solar, the best-known name using this technology, has built its business around it. A smaller pool of buyers wants tellurium for alloying, since adding it to certain steel and copper alloys improves machinability, and a specialty thermoelectric-materials segment rounds out demand.
A metalloid, priced like a metal
Chemically, tellurium is typically classified as a metalloid rather than a true metal — brittle, silvery-white, with some semiconducting character. This site tracks and prices it alongside its other metals purely for market-coverage purposes, which is worth knowing before assuming its physical behaviour matches a metal like copper or lead.
| Buyer Type | Use |
|---|---|
| Solar panel manufacturers | Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film cells |
| Alloy producers | Improved machinability in steel and copper |
| Thermoelectric materials makers | Bismuth telluride for Peltier coolers |

Why This Kilogram Figure Can Move More Than You'd Expect
Tellurium is recovered almost entirely from the anode slimes left over during copper's electrolytic refining — there's no dedicated tellurium mine anywhere. That means supply tracks copper refining decisions, not tellurium demand, and a genuinely thin market like this one can show a visible price move on relatively modest shifts in either copper refining output or solar-panel manufacturing demand.
The comparison table and 10-day history above track that movement in context. For a longer view, the site's own tellurium price history page holds real recorded data by year and month.
1 Kg Tellurium Price — FAQs
Today's 1 kg tellurium price comes to ₹10,427.07, scaled from the per-gram figure of ₹10.43 on September 17, 2026. It's a tracking benchmark, not a fixed retail or wholesale quote.
It can, though tellurium is genuinely one of the rarer materials this site tracks — it's recovered almost entirely as a byproduct of copper anode-slime processing, so global supply is limited and kilogram-scale purchases already represent a meaningful order for a specialty buyer.
Cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film solar panel manufacturers are the dominant modern buyer, alongside metallurgical customers using tellurium to improve the machinability of certain steel and copper alloys, and a smaller thermoelectric-materials market.
Chemically, tellurium is typically classified as a metalloid — brittle, silvery-white, with some semiconducting properties — rather than a true metal. This site tracks and prices it alongside its other metals for market-coverage purposes.
Because nobody mines tellurium directly — it's recovered from the anode slimes left over during copper's electrolytic refining, in trace concentrations. Tellurium supply tracks copper refining volumes and economics, not tellurium demand on its own.
