Tellurium is a rare, brittle metalloid used mainly as an alloying addition in steel and copper, in thermoelectric devices and semiconductors, and most notably in cadmium telluride (CdTe) photovoltaic cells. Its market importance and price volatility stem from a limited, byproduct-dependent supply concentrated among a few producers and sensitivity to demand from the solar, electronics and metallurgical sectors; key pricing drivers include base‑metal production levels, material grade/purity, inventory flows, recycling rates and geopolitical or regulatory shifts.
