Precious Metals Market Outlook
- The rapid transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, such as solar power, supports silver use.
- Latin America has abundant reserves for silver as well as plenty of reserves for gold, and with limited local demand, the region has emerged as a natural exporter.
- Investors are inclined towards precious metals such as gold and silver as they are considered safe haven investments.
Global Precious Metals Market Growth Rate
Precious metals are a popular investment among private investors, hedge funds, central banks, and governments as they maintain their value over time. The rising disposable incomes among consumers in tier 2 cities of developing countries support the investment in gold in the form of festive jewellery.
The growing middle-class population in emerging economies has increased the purchase of electrical appliances and medical products that use silver, including computers, mobile phones, cameras, batteries, and medical and protective equipment.

Key Trends and Developments
Increasing use of precious metals as investments; technological advancements; rising trend of sustainability; and increasing consumption of jewellery in countries such as India and China are impacting the market growth
Apr 5, 2022
Kinross Gold Corporation announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement with the Highland Gold Mining group of companies and its affiliates to sell 100% of its Russian assets for total consideration of USD 680 million in cash.
Mar 9, 2022
Kinross Gold Corporation announced that its La Coipa project in Chile crossed a significant milestone with the production of its first gold bar. The project's plant began commissioning, on schedule and within budget, in early February 2022.
Rising Investments
Growing wealth in emerging markets is increasing investments in precious metals such as gold in the form of gold bars for saving purposes and as jewellery owing to its cultural significance. Gold, silver, platinum, and palladium are highly valued investments as they offer reliable long-term returns.
Technological advancements
The rollout of 5G technology is anticipated to boost the manufacturing of products such as semiconductor chips, cabling, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and Internet of things (IoT)-enabled gadgets, all of which require precious metals, like silver, gold, and platinum.
Shift to sustainability
The growing need for sustainability is increasing the demand for renewable energy, consequently boosting the market growth. Gold has the potential to act as a catalyst to convert solar energy into methane and methanol. Silver owing to its high conductivity is a crucial ingredient in producing solar technologies. When used as a paste in solar cells, the metal conducts electrons from sunlight resulting in electrical energy that can be used or stored in batteries.
Rising jewellery consumption in India and China
India and China are significant consumers of gold jewellery owing to its cultural significance, religious connotations, and association with wealth generation. Hence, there is a growing appetite for customised, personalised, and high-end gold jewellery.
Precious Metals Market Trends
Growing wealth among emerging economies is increasing investments in gold bars. Investors view precious metals, such as gold, silver, and platinum, as a valued investment class into which funds should be allocated and diversified owing to their track record of protecting wealth through a crisis.
With the growing environmental and social consciousness among consumers, the demand for jewellery offering transparency is anticipated to increase.
Further, the trend of miniaturisation of electronics is encouraging the utilisation of silver conducting materials for denser packing technologies. With the increasing number of IoT devices, the use of semiconductor silver products in micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) packaging and processing is likely to surge. The rollout of 5G technology in both developed and developing countries is anticipated to drive the demand for silver in passive components, cabling, semiconductor chips, power distribution, and multi-layer ceramic capacitors (MLCC), among others.

Precious Metals Market Share
Based on type, gold dominates the global market for precious metals
Gold and silver are perceived as popular commodity investments to mitigate portfolio risk and diversify the overall portfolio.
Due to its rareness, exclusivity, strength, natural whiteness, and other unique properties, platinum has become a sought-after material for modern-day jewellery making, symbolising luxury and longevity.
The demand for gold, silver, and platinum jewellery from digital/online channels is significantly surging. Moreover, the emerging trend of fashion jewellery, personalised and customised jewellery, and the internationalisation of jewellery brands are expected to support the market.
As per the precious metals market analysis, vehicle sales are a key factor aiding the palladium and rhodium demand for ICEs. Further, the usage of platinum is anticipated to increase as the precious metal is also used in fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) besides diesel cars, benefitting from the increasing demand for clean mobility.
With increasing environmental concerns, the demand for palladium, platinum, and rhodium in automotive catalytic converters to reduce vehicle carbon emissions is anticipated to rise.
