China imposed export restrictions on germanium and gallium last year , disrupting global supply chains.
China is the leading global producer of these metals and around 94% of the global gallium supply comes from China .
As a result, export controls have caused these metals to become significantly more expensive.
Reports indicate that China may be stockpiling these metals, contributing to sharp rise in prices.
