Frequently Asked Questions — Palladium Price in Switzerland
What is palladium used for?+
Over 80% of palladium demand comes from catalytic converters in petrol/gasoline vehicles, where it oxidises carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons into less harmful emissions. Palladium is also used in electronics (multi-layer ceramic capacitors), dentistry (dental alloys) and jewellery (white gold alloys). Russia and South Africa together produce over 75% of global palladium supply, making prices sensitive to geopolitical disruptions.
Why did palladium price fall from its peak?+
Palladium surged to $3,400/oz in 2022 but has since declined due to: (1) Platinum substitution in petrol catalytic converters by automakers, (2) Slower global car sales, (3) Increased recycling of old catalytic converters adding to supply, (4) EV adoption reducing long-term gasoline engine demand. Russia's continued palladium exports despite sanctions also kept supply stable.
