About Platinum Group Metals

Editorial overview

What is platinum group metals?

Platinum-group metals (PGMs) are a basket of six closely related precious metals: platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium, iridium, and osmium. They are prized for catalytic, chemical, and high-temperature performance rather than as bulk structural metals.

How platinum group metals are priced

Platinum Group Metals trade on multiple officially regulated exchanges. Each publishes its own daily settlement, fixing or auction reference price for its specific contract — there is no single “world price”. The complete list of active regulated venues for platinum group metals:

Principle: One True Source for All. Every officially regulated exchange with an active contract is listed, regardless of geography or sanctions. Cash-settled contracts list both the listing exchange (where the contract clears) and the underlying benchmark index used for final settlement. Fastmarkets, S&P Global Platts and Argus are regulated benchmark administrators under UK/EU BMR, not exchanges.

Where platinum group metals comes from

USGS Mineral Commodity Summaries 2026 reports PGM mine supply concentrated in South Africa, Russia, Zimbabwe, North America, and other smaller producers, with South Africa far ahead of the rest in refined production. The USGS country table in the WPIC-linked supply data shows South Africa at 3,957 koz in 2025 and 4,005 koz forecast for 2026, followed by Russia, Zimbabwe, North America, and other regions. World Platinum Investment Council Full breakdown in the production and reserves sections.

Who produces platinum group metals

Leading PGM producers include Valterra Platinum, Impala Platinum, Northam Platinum, Sibanye-Stillwater, and Anglo American Platinum in South Africa, with additional output from Russian state-linked Norilsk Nickel and Zimbabwean producers. WPIC identifies the main South African members that underpin global platinum supply, while USGS country data show South Africa and Russia as the dominant producing countries.

What platinum group metals is used for

Platinum demand is split mainly across automotive autocatalysts, industrial uses, jewellery, and investment: WPIC says autocatalysts have been 36% to 44% of total demand over the last five years, industrial uses average 30%, jewellery averages 27%, and investment ranges from -8% to 14% of demand. For the 2026 forecast, WPIC shows automotive at 2,959 koz, industrial at 2,238 koz, jewellery at 1,958 koz, and investment at 519 koz. World Platinum Investment Council

Key facts about platinum group metals supply

  • World platinum supply is forecast at 7,377 koz in 2026, with mine supply at 5,551 koz and recycling at 1,826 koz, according to WPIC’s Q1 2026 outlook. World Platinum Investment Council
  • WPIC says primary mining supplied 75% to 79% of annual platinum supply over the last five years, showing that PGMs remain mostly mine-dependent despite meaningful recycling. World Platinum Investment Council
  • WPIC’s table shows 2025 platinum supply by region at 3,957 koz from South Africa, 677 koz from Russia, 516 koz from Zimbabwe, 212 koz from North America, and 196 koz from other sources. World Platinum Investment Council
  • WPIC forecasts 2026 platinum demand at 7,674 koz versus supply of 7,377 koz, implying a 297 koz deficit for the year. World Platinum Investment Council
