Market forecasts:
- As one of the largest producing countries and the leading importer of silver ore, China plays a key role in the global silver market. Thanks to its large processing capacities, the country is also the most important exporter of processed silver. Other countries are increasingly dependent and export restrictions could jeopardise the global market.1
- Silver is valued as an investment and jewellery and is important in the electronics and solar industries.2
- The increasing global demand for silver is offset by a decline in supply, and the silver market has been in deficit for several years.3
