Global Platinum Mining Market Insights

Platinum Mining Market size was valued at USD 5.2 billion in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 5.8 billion in 2022 to USD 11.1 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Platinum has various significant applications, including auto catalysts, jewellery, and chemicals, as well as other industries that use platinum in a smaller amount. Platinum is highly resistant to corrosion, among other desirable characteristics, so platinum’s value has been compared to gold. In 2020, global platinum production was over 161 metric tons, with African production contributing 127 metric tons. South Africa is the world's top platinum-mining country and a major palladium producer. The automotive industry is the world's largest consumer of platinum metals used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems. Continued growth in auto production is expected in the coming years, especially in developing markets, and this is expected to drive demand for PGMs (Platinum group metals), particularly platinum and palladium. Anglo American Platinum Ltd, Impala Platinum Holding Ltd, and MMC Norilsk Nickel are the world's top producers, accounting for 60% of global production in 2020. Increasing demand for jewellery made with platinum, increasing use of platinum in the refining industry, and growing consumer preference for precious metals over traditional investment options such as gold, are the major factors driving the growth of global market.

US Platinum Mining Market is poised to grow at a sustainable CAGR for the next forecast year.

Global Platinum Mining Market Dynamics

Platinum Mining Market Driver

Rising application in cars

  • Platinum is used as a catalyst in automobile exhaust systems. These operations help remove or neutralize hazardous chemicals from automotive exhaust. About 40% of the world's total platinum consumption is used in these processes. The automotive industry is the world's largest consumer of platinum metals, which are used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems. This is a major factor driving global platinum mining market worldwide.

Application in diesel car and hydrogen fuel segment

  • The amount of platinum found in a diesel car exhaust varies depending on the brand and kind of vehicle and is typically between 3 and 7 grams. To achieve net-zero emissions, the market is expected to be driven by growing environmental concerns over carbon dioxide emissions. According to estimates, the increased investments in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles boost the platinum demand for autos.

Platinum Mining Market Restraint

High cost and the pandemic

  • Platinum prices have been falling since the beginning of the global pandemic, which is one of the key reasons for hampering market growth. Global commodity price dropped from almost USD 32,857.3 per kilogram in January to around USD 18,904.2 in March 2020. As a result, the growth of the market is hampered by the collapse in commodity prices due to the pandemic.
