Top 5 Palladium and Platinum Countries by Production

Platinum-group metals (PGMs) include platinum, palladium, rhodium and other metals, all of which are prized for their durability, resistance to corrosion and excellent catalytic properties.

The automotive industry is the world’s largest consumer of these metals, which among other things are used in catalytic converters for vehicle exhaust systems. A rebound and continued growth in auto production is projected in the coming years, particularly in developing markets, and this should increase demand for PGMs, especially when it comes to platinum and palladium. On the supply side, the platinum market is expected to slide into a significant deficit in 2024 and beyond.

But where do platinum and palladium come from? The list of the world’s top palladium- and platinum-mining countries is a short one, and most PGMs come from South Africa and Russia.

WPIC: Platinum Deficit Forecast Upgraded, Will Exceed 1 Million Ounces in 2024

The platinum sector is projected to experience a significant industry deficit in 2024, marking the second consecutive year where demand for the precious metal far outpaces supply.

In its latest Platinum Quarterly, the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC) predicts that the deficit will exceed 1 million ounces this year, with supply forecast to drop by 1 percent and demand expected to grow by 3 percent.

Global platinum supply is projected to fall to 7.09 million ounces in 2024, 8 percent less than the 10 year average. The decline is attributed to reduced mined supply, particularly from South Africa and Russia.
