Silver may have reached the peak in mine production

These calculations do not include recycling. In 2021, demand for silver was 1049 million ounces. Mined were 997.2 million ounces. According to the Silver Institute forecasts, the current year will bring record demand for the precious metal, which is also called the little brother of gold. The deficit in 2022 is estimated to be twice as large as the deficit in the previous year. Silver mine production is expected to grow by only one percent in 2022 compared to 2021. What will continue to grow, however, is the demand for silver, such as from the automotive industry. Electronic parts in vehicles often contain silver, and electric vehicles need around twice as much silver as conventional vehicles. Then there is the charging infrastructure, which also gobbles up silver. Another important growth area is 5G technology. Silver jewelry and silver goods are also expected to increase over the counter.

In 2022, institutional demand for silver was not as strong in view of rising interest rates and led to a decline in silver ETF holdings. However, this was more than offset by an increase in physical investment activity. Demand from India almost doubled this year. Looking at the gold-silver ratio, it is currently around 76, meaning that 76 ounces of silver are needed to buy one ounce of gold. The average ratio is between 40 and 50, so silver is undervalued. Silver inventories in London, one of the world’s largest silver stocks, have fallen significantly this year. However, you can also bet on silver with the stocks of silver companies.
