As the world races toward cleaner energy and advanced technology, silver has quietly become one of the most in-demand metals on the planet. Industrial consumption, across the globe, reached a record ~19,300 tonnes in 2024—driven by electric vehicle powertrains, solar photovoltaics, and AI-related electronics—marking the fourth consecutive year of growth for industrial use. At the same time, lingering supply deficits have underpinned a price rally, with silver bullion up nearly 29 percent year-to-date as of November 2024.
This confluence of rising demand and limited supply has drawn fresh attention to silver not only as an industrial necessity but also as a strategic store of value. Analysts project that silver could trade around $40 per ounce (~ 28 grams) by early 2026, supported by both continued industrial uptake and safe-haven flows amid global uncertainties.
