Gold and silver prices increased over the course of 2021, but these did not grow as fast as the prices of iridium and, especially, rhodium. According to a comparison of price indices, the price for rhodium - a precious metal similar to platinum and used especially in catalytic converters of cars - was ten times higher in April 2021 than it was in January 2019. The price hike for rhodium was apparently caused by coronavirus-related lockdowns implemented in South Africa, where mining companies had to close for several weeks.

The automotive segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period.

Platinum, a precious metal, plays a pivotal role in various industries, particularly in the automotive sector, where it contributes to reducing emissions of harmful gases like CO2 and NO2 through catalytic conversion. In addition to automotive catalysts, platinum finds extensive use in other automobile components, such as antilock braking systems, airbag initiators, and spark plugs. The demand for platinum in automobiles is propelled by stringent regulations aimed at minimizing emissions and enhancing fuel efficiency. Moreover, the application scope of platinum extends beyond automobiles. In agriculture, platinum-based products offer numerous benefits, including improved nutrient uptake efficiency, enhanced nutrient delivery, and water use efficiency.

These benefits are crucial for crop resilience factors, such as stress tolerance mechanisms, biotic stress resistance, and photosynthesis stimulation. Platinum's role in agriculture also includes the promotion of beneficial microorganisms, integrated pest management, and soil health indicators like soil microbial diversity and soil enzyme activity. The market for platinum in agriculture is experiencing significant growth. According to recent reports, the market is projected to increase by 15%, with a similar growth rate expected in the near future. This expansion is driven by the increasing adoption of sustainable agriculture practices, such as precision agriculture technology, which relies on platinum for enhanced root development enhancement and crop quality attributes.

Furthermore, platinum's role in improving fertilizer use efficiency and potassium availability has garnered significant attention, leading to a 20% increase in demand for platinum-based products in the agricultural sector. Platinum's potential in carbon sequestration is another promising application, with estimates suggesting that platinum-based products could sequester up to 10% of global CO2 emissions. This development aligns with the growing focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating climate change. Additionally, platinum's ability to stimulate plant growth through plant hormone modulation and phosphorus solubilization contributes to plant biomass accumulation and plant disease resistance. In conclusion, the market for platinum in various industries, particularly in automobiles and agriculture, is witnessing continuous growth and innovation.
