The top three revenue-generating product segments in the global precious metals market are discussed below:

Silver

"Silver dominates the precious metals market and holds over 85% of the global shares. This metal is in high demand for various industrial applications, in jewelry making, and for investment purposes," says Mahitha Mallishetty, a lead analyst in Technavio for metals and minerals research.

The global silver market is mainly driven by the growing usage of silver in photovoltaic devices and jewelry, from countries such as the US, China, India, Japan, and Russia. Apart from the above-mentioned applications, it is also used in the fashion and glass industries.

Gold

Gold is the second most popular product of the global precious metals market, projected to reach 210.2 million ounces by 2021. The high demand for this metal from East Asia, India, and the Middle East will be responsible for the growth of the market segment over the forecast period. Other factors that are likely to influence the global gold market include the above-ground supply of gold from central banks' sale, official gold loans, hedging interests of producers, the construction of new production facilities or processes, unexpected mine or plant closures, and industry restructuring.

Palladium

"Most of the demand for palladium originates from the autocatalyst sector, which is used in the expanding automotive output from swiftly developing nations such as India and China. The jewelry industry also creates a significant demand for palladium," says Mahitha.

Region wise, Europe, Japan, and North America create moderate demand for palladium. Other important industries where palladium is used include electrical, dental, chemical, and investment sectors.
