Silver Market Faces Major Deficit as Industrial Demand Hits Record Highs The Silver Institute’s annual World Silver Survey, conducted by UK-based Metals Focus, projects the silver market it to experience its second-largest deficit in two decades in 2024. This forecast is driven by a record 9% increase in industrial demand, expected to reach 710.9 million ounces, with the solar sector playing a crucial role. Demand for silver in photovoltaic (PV) solar panels alone is anticipated to surge by 20% to 232 million ounces. As a result, robust demand continues to surpass supply, supporting high silver prices and leading to a further depletion of above-ground stocks. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Gold Prices are Dropping.
