"Silver’s supply-demand conditions, meanwhile, are expected to have another
very strong year in 2024. Robust gains from photovoltaic applications and
decent performances in other segments are expected to see industrial
demand reach a new all-time record. An uptick in discretionary spending and
restocking should boost jewelry and silverware demand, driving y/y rebounds
in both demand segments. All this should more than offset the declines we
expect in bar and coin investment, for reasons touched on above. Crucially,
supply will continue to stagnate, with a marginal decline forecast for the year.
This will drive the market deficit up by 17%, to 215.3Moz (6,695t) for the year."

Default 2nd Highest SILVER deficit in 20 years

Here’s a summary of the article in point format:

The Silver Institute released its annual World Silver Survey, conducted by UK-based research firm Metals Focus.

Industrial demand continues to dominate the silver market and is expected to hit another record high this year, rising 9% to 710.9 million ounces.

Demand for silver in Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels is expected to rise 20% to 232 million ounces.
Jewelry fabrication is expected to rise by 4% to 211.3 million ounces and silverware up 7% to 58.8 million ounces.

However, disappointing investment demand is forecasted, with physical bar and coin purchases dropping by 13% to 212 million ounces this year.

Despite investors shying away from the silver market, demand continues to overwhelm supply.
The market is expected to see a deficit of 215.3 million ounces, the second-largest deficit in more than two decades.

Total global silver demand is expected to rise to 1.219 billion ounces, an increase of 2% from last year.

Phillip Newman, Director, and Founding Partner at Metals Focus, said that deficits are starting to matter as above-ground stocks continue to get depleted.

In a world of continuous deficits, higher prices will be needed before stocks are released into the marketplace.

Newman also expects solar demand to continue to grow.

Although investment demand in silver has lagged, causing it to underperform gold, Metals Focus expects that this trend has only started to reverse.

The forecasted 2024 deficit comes as Metals Focus said the deficit in 2023 was 184.3 million ounces.

The silver market has seen a structural deficit for three consecutive years.
Demand last year was driven by industrial applications, which rose to 654.4 million ounces.

Default 50% to 150% more silver per solar panel -New technology

"The International Energy Agency expects solar to become the top source of energy globally by 2027, surpassing coal and natural gas. In the last decade, silver’s use in solar has soared, quadrupling from 50Moz silver to 200Moz silver, annually.

But, the photovoltaics (solar) industry is advancing rapidly, and newer technologies require from 50% to 150% more silver per panel. That really makes solar the 800-pound gorilla, consuming 20% of annual silver supply. Silver is also used in EVs, which require twice as much silver as internal combustion engine vehicles."

I asked Gemini to look at the claim of a 150% increase in silver usage....newer technologies require from 50% to 150% more silver per panel?

That statement might be an oversimplification. Here's a more accurate breakdown:

Solar Technology Advancement: The solar industry is constantly innovating, but the impact on silver usage varies.

Increased Silver Use in Some Cases: Some cutting-edge technologies might require more silver to achieve higher efficiencies. However, this isn't always the case.

Focus on Silver Reduction: There's a strong industry push to develop methods that use less or eliminate silver altogether due to cost and resource limitations.

So, it's unlikely that all new technologies will require significantly more silver. The industry is actively looking for alternatives, and some advancements even aim to reduce silver content.
