The global palladium market size is expected to be USD 4337 million in 2022 and is projected to touch USD 6483.28 million by the end of 2031, at a CAGR of 4.6% during the forecast period. 

Palladium is a silver-white ductile metal. It is primarily used in electrical contacts. It works as an alloy and as a catalyst in the electronics industry. It is a rare metal. It is whitish in color and symbol of the white metal is ‘pd’. The catalytic properties of the six (PGM) platinum group metals are palladium, iridium, rhodium, osmium, rhodium, and ruthenium. All these properties are used in the industrial, chemical, and jewelry industries.

Growing demand from chemical manufacturing factories for its highly chemical transformation properties is expected to fuel market growth. Growing oil & gas industry globally is predicted to boost market growth. Increasing demand for catalytic processes such as hydrogenation, petroleum, and dehydrogenation is anticipated to drive product demand. Such qualities are expected to accelerate market growth owing to the demand from the oil & gas industry. Growing jewelry and photography sectors is projected to drive product adoption. In addition, pallium electrode is found in computers, laptops, and mobile. The growing demand for electronic products among consumers is anticipated to fuel palladium market growth during the forecast period.

COVID 19:  Halt on Mining Activities to Hamper Market Growth

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with palladium experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden spike in CAGR is attributable to the palladium market growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic witnessed significant slowdown to the palladium market. Closure of mining activities restricted market growth. Lockdown restrictions led to shutdown of manufacturing facilities to control the spread of the virus reduced the product demand. Further, lack of electronic production slowed down the economic rate of metals. Unemployment during pandemic reduced spending capacity of population which reduced market growth. However, the growing global investments in metal industry is likely to recover the damage during the pandemic.

LATEST TRENDS
