A major recent development is China's export restrictions on refined silver (effective around early 2026), as China produces 60–70% of global refined silver. This has exacerbated tightness, reducing global availability and pushing prices higher.

Over half of silver consumption comes from industrial uses, particularly in the energy transition (solar panels, electric vehicles, electronics, and data centers). Demand from solar and EVs jumped significantly in 2025, with silver's high conductivity making it irreplaceable in these applications. Analysts expect this to accelerate further in 2026 as renewable energy and tech adoption grow.

China dominates 60–70% of global refined silver production; the new license-based system (limiting exports to 44 approved companies) has reduced global availability, exacerbating tightness and contributing to immediate price spikes.
