Provided is ITO powder having a surface thereof modified, which has high conductivity when made into compact at low pressure. The ITO powder having the surface thereof modified according to the present invention has a resistivity of 0.50 OMEGA.cm or less when pressure of 0.98 MPa is exerted on a compact composed of the ITO powder. When a pressure of 0.196 to 29.42 MPa is exerted on the compact, the relation between pressure and volume resistivity approximates to Y = aX^n wherein Y represents the volume resistivity of the compact, X represents the pressure, a is less than or equal to 5.00, and n is less than or equal to -0.500.
