Nearly 80 percent of silver bars and coins are purchased in India, Germany, Australia, and the US. Looking back over the last 15 years, this area of silver demand has fluctuated between around 157 million and 337 million ounces annually, according to the Silver Institute. Silver investments are increasingly attracting the attention of investors. The precious metal has gained around 34 percent in value this year, outperforming even gold (28 percent).

Global crises, rising government debt, and uncertainty are prompting investors to seek safe investment opportunities. The US ranks first in terms of physical silver investments. Between 2010 and 2024, private investors purchased approximately 1.5 billion ounces of silver. According to a study, little of this was sold, with investors mostly holding on to their silver. In terms of value, these investments accounted for about 70 percent of the value of gold investments.

A significant portion of US silver investments flows into retirement accounts, with room for further growth. India ranks second in the market for physical silver investments. Here, owning silver is a tradition, with silver bars being the most common form of purchase. In India, too, resales were low. Germany ranks third, with demand for physical silver investments expected to be around 25 percent higher this year than last year. In Australia, demand is expected to rise by an estimated 11 percent.

And global silver investments continue to rise this year. As statistics from the Silver Institute show, inflows into silver-backed exchange-traded products already exceed total inflows for 2024. In June, silver was therefore more expensive than it had been in 13 years. Silver is popular. So, it’s time to take a look at silver companies.
