Global Rhodium Market Insights

Global Rhodium Market was valued at USD 2.22 billion in 2022, and is expected to rise from USD 2.35 billion in 2023 to reach a value of USD 3.66 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 5.70% during the forecast period (2024–2031).

Rhodium is a platinum group metal resistant to corrosion and highly reflective. It is considered as the least available and most precious metal in the world. The global rhodium produced is majorly used for making catalysts which minimizes the harmful elements ratio derived from vehicle exhausts. 

The global rhodium market growth can grow significantly with the demand for catalytic converters used in the automotive industry, and also the increasing demand for rhodium in other industrial sectors.

After the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic, the rhodium market was hard hit due to hampered prices of the precious metals. The automotive industry faced huge challenges due to the backlash of lockdown norms. But after the upliftment of the lockdown regulations, the market is anticipated to grow at a good pace.

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