    Mineweb reported that some analysts see the price of silver growing due to, among other things, an increase in demand for industrial usage.

    As quoted in the market report:

    In part he bases this premise on what he sees as the hugely growing demand in the industrial usage of silver – notably in the electrical sector where silver is perhaps the best conductor of all – and with electrical power taking over the world, as Freidman sees it, demand growth for silver will expand dramatically along with global population and GDP growth. He adds in a huge global increase in solar panel manufacture and usage as another key new market for silver. There are, of course a host of other new uses too as we pointed out here in our recent article: New innovations boost silver demand.
