Like gold, silver acts as a safe haven. As an industrial metal, the "little brother of gold" offers growth potential, risk mitigation, and stability—especially valuable during financial or geopolitical crises. Similar to gold, silver can hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Today, demand for silver is rising in the automotive, renewable energy, and electronics sectors. A combustion engine vehicle contains between 0.5 and 0.9 grams of silver, while hybrid or electric vehicles require significantly more. Additionally, the global shift toward renewable energy and increasing electrification will drive growing silver demand well into the future.
This year, industrial demand for silver is expected to reach a new record of 1.2 billion ounces. Meanwhile, supply is estimated at around 1 billion ounces, setting the stage for a growing deficit. A supercycle for silver could be on the horizon, as technological innovations continue to emerge. Currently, technical analysts see the potential for silver prices to resume their long-term upward trend after breaking above $31.53 per ounce.
Bridging the gap between supply and demand is no easy task. New mining projects require significant time to develop, and the imbalance between demand and supply could persist for a long time. Silver projects that successfully address challenges such as environmental requirements and are located in favorable mining regions should hold a competitive advantage.
