It cannot be emphasized enough: the demand for silver will rise, mainly due to the demand from the photovoltaic industry. While mine production is expected to increase somewhat, new discoveries are limited, and mine production also faces various challenges. However, according to forecasts, even a slight increase in production is unlikely to keep up with demand. This naturally supports the prices of the precious metal.
Now, silver is experiencing a significant breakout from its sideways phase, and rightfully so. Analysts anticipate long-term increases in silver prices. The previous all-time high of $50 US dollars per ounce will likely serve as a kind of cap for now. In 2023, silver demand exceeded supply for the third consecutive year.
Regarding investment demand, stronger global economic growth will boost it. One area that will further fuel silver demand is electromobility and the increased use of autonomous driving functions. More electronics in vehicles inevitably consume more silver. Not to mention the rising number of home batteries for storing solar energy. The number of these storage units is expected to increase exponentially. Approximately 155 tons of silver were used for the production of home batteries in Germany in 2022. For investors, the globally increasing demand for silver presents a great opportunity.
