Gold to surpass other chemical base metals in the coming years

Gold plating is carried out to give long lasting decorative finishes in jewellery, cutlery and optical frames. Gold is also the metal of choice in the plating of different electronic components. Gold plating chemicals are commonly utilized in semiconductor, connector and circuit applications. Gold potassium cyanide, tetrachlorogold acid hydrate solution, and potassium dicyanoaurate are the commonly utilized solutions in gold plating.

The gold segment in the chemical base metal category is anticipated to outclass other segments in terms of growth rate and market share during the forecast period. In 2016, gold segment was valued at about USD 667 Million and is estimated to reach a valuation of more than USD 1 Billion by the end of the year of assessment (2027). Volume wise, the gold segment is the second largest during the forecast period.

Silver expected to hold less market value

Silver segment is the third fastest growing segment in the chemical base metal category during the period of assessment. However, this segment is expected to show less market value during this period. The silver segment was value at less than USD 4 Million in 2012 and is expected to reach a value less than USD 6 Billion by the end of the assessment year.
