One trend in market is increasing disposable income of the middle class population. Globally, three billion people are expected to enter the middle class population segment between 2015-2035. The growing middle class population is expected to play a significant role in boosting the growth of the market. APAC and the Americas are among the key markets for precious metals and offer significant opportunities for major players to expand their businesses. A rise in the disposable income of the middle class population has had a considerable positive impact on the growth of the market. Disposable income increased by almost 25% in APAC and by more than 20% in Latin America between 2009 and 2014. The key markets in these regions include Japan, China, India, and Brazil.

According to the report, one driver in market is extensive use of platinum in the glass and chemical industries. Platinum consumption in the industrial sector is growing with an increase in platinum purchase by the glass industry and the chemical industry in addition to the automotive industry. In the glass industry, platinum is used in the fabrication of vessels that assist in holding, channeling, and forming the molten glass. The high melting point, strength, and corrosion resistance of platinum allow it to withstand the abrasive action of molten glass. In the chemical industry, platinum is also used in the manufacture of nitric acid, where PGM catalysts are used for enhancing the efficiency of various reactions. In Asia and the Middle East, the construction of new chemical plants for the production of nitric acid and other chemicals is expected to increase platinum consumption.
