PGMs - market fundamentals supply and demand

SFA (Oxford) constantly updates its key historical PGM supply and demand market data, for platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and iridium. Our comprehensive database tracks every ounce of PGM produced and our supply/demand models monitor and forecast the end use of the metals on a global and regional basis.

Rigorous and robust models allow SFA Oxford to forecast key PGM market datasets out to 2030 and beyond. Similarly, associated by- and co-product copper, nickel, osmium, cobalt, silver and gold coverage can also be provided.

SFA (Oxford)’s complete analytics address historical and current mine supply trends for PGMs, referencing recent expansions and their deliverability, other projects coming on line and projects shelved or postponed. PGMs produced as by-products of base metal mining and those recovered by recycling are also covered.

Our demand trend analysis covers the major PGM end-use sectors: autocatalysis, jewellery, glass, petroleum, electronics, chemical, medical/dental and the investment sector.

For autocatalytic demand, special attention is given to future legislative and automotive developments and their short-term and long-term effects on the market.

We use the services of Oxford Economics to support our independent forecasting and economic analysis of future market growth. The Oxford Economics team provides underlying macroeconomic data for our modelling of future platinum demand.
