In 2022, silver demand was very high, reaching a new overall record worldwide.
About half of the silver goes to industry. Here, demand rose by five percent last year. Silver can do a lot, for example optimize solar cells. Today, silicon is used in solar cells. Work is underway to use perovskite, a mineral, instead. This is because it is more common and less expensive. If a silver layer is then used in addition, the efficiency can be tripled. This is because the silver layers amplify the light three and a half times. Silver is also popular in the medical field. Now researchers have developed antimicrobial cloths in which silver ions are incorporated. These can be washed at least 30 times while retaining their function, namely to kill 99.9 percent of dangerous bacteria.
This year, too, photovoltaic technology in particular should ensure strong silver demand, even another all-time high, while at the same time there is a deficit in silver. Other areas responsible for great demand is the 5G network and also the jewelry sector. For example, U.S. jewelry retailers could enjoy a 52 percent increase in sales in 2022. And as a result, 61 percent of retailers increased their inventory of silver jewelry. Further sales growth is expected. As the best electronic conductor, silver is also used in electrical engineering, especially in switches, relays or fuses in vehicles. It is indispensable in the automotive industry, for example in car glass. Not only physical silver, but also silver companies should not be forgotten by investors.
