The latest report from the Silver Institute shows a 2% decline owing to high prices pressuring the key consumption segment.\nStill, the organization expects the structural deficit to widen to 46.3 million ounces at 1.1 billion demand.\nHigher prices are the primary driver of demand decline. On the consumer side, jewelry fell by 8% in 2025, and the Institute expects the trend to continue. India remains a particularly exposed market, as record prices erode affordability. Silverware demand remains under pressure, even at a four-year low.\nMeanwhile, industrial demand, the largest consumer of silver, is also softening. After 4 years of growth, it declined by 3% in 2025. The Institute expects it to continue falling in 2026 as solar panel manufacturers look to reduce silver use or find ways to fully replace it.\nThe solar weakness has outweighed supportive trends in other sectors such as electric vehicles, data centers, and power infrastructure.\nStill, as average prices rise, investment demand provides an important counterbalance. Coin and bar demand rose by 14% in 2025 and is expected to jump a further 18% in 2026. Ongoing geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic risks continue to drive strong investor appetite for precious metals.\nSupply growth remains constrained. Higher output in Latin America drove global mine production by 3% in 2025, but expectations for 2026 remain broadly flat.\nThis persistent deficit is already having visible effects. Falling above-ground inventories, significant metal movement between trading hubs, and a late-2025 liquidity squeeze all contributed to significant price volatility.\niShares Silver Trust (NYSE:SLV) is up 9.26% year-to-date.\nHowever, a recent J.P. Morgan report lists risks to demand.\n\"Long term, the largest risk we see for silver comes from more widespread adoption of silver-free technology,\" Gregory Shearer, the bank's head of base and precious metals strategy, warned.\nHe added that the recent price surge has likely already triggered \"a meaningful acceleration in substitution and thrifting trends,\" which could weigh on demand over time.\nHowever, Shearer noted that these structural changes will not happen overnight, meaning investment flows and market sentiment will remain the dominant drivers in the near term.\nImage via Shutterstock\nTo add Benzinga News as your preferred source on Google, click here.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"tenantId":"TBGLOBAL","deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.42.0","shortVersion":"4.42.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2627291023","isCrawlerRequest":true}
