The Metal Inside Every Touchscreen
Indium tin oxide (ITO) forms the transparent, conductive coating that makes touchscreens and LCD/OLED displays work at all — there's no widely-deployed substitute that matches its combination of transparency and conductivity, which keeps indium demand tightly linked to global display manufacturing output.
A Byproduct of Zinc, Not Its Own Mine
Like gallium, indium is recovered almost entirely as a byproduct of zinc ore refining rather than mined directly — China dominates that refining step, while the display panels it ends up in are overwhelmingly built in South Korea, Japan and China's own electronics factories.
Did You Know?
Indium's total annual global supply is small enough that a single major refinery outage can noticeably tighten the market — a scale of fragility copper or aluminium simply doesn't have.
