Silver cyanide is a whitish chemical compound obtained from the reaction between solutions containing silver and cyanide. It is highly reactive in nature and decomposes on exposure to light. Silver cyanide is mostly used for silver plating of metals across manufacturing industries. Owing to its ability to enhance the quality and aesthetic features of products, it is being increasingly used for various purposes such as decorative effects on trinkets, teapots and trays. Increasing sales of these products will therefore generate growth opportunities within the silver cyanide market during the forecast period.
Similarly, the expansion of electronics industry is anticipated to provide impetus to silver cyanide market in the future. Today, various electronic products are being manufactured by using silver plating.
Countries like China and India are becoming attractive destinations for silver cyanide due to heavy presence of leading end-use industries such as electronics, automotive and chemicals. People in these countries use silver coated products like trinkets, semiconductors, utensils etc. on large scales.
The chemical compound (silver cyanide) is available in two different forms i.e., solid and powder, which enables the end users to choose according to their requirements. Growing usage of both solid and powered silver cyanide for making electronic components, chemicals and other salts will provide a strong thrust to the market growth in the future.

The swift expansion of silver cyanide market is attributed to the increasing adoption of silver cyanide across diverse end-use industries such as manufacturing, laboratory and chemicals.
Growing popularity of silver plating as an economical and efficient process of material plating is perhaps one of the major forces triggering the sales of silver cyanide. It is a simple process of coating materials with silver. It provides numerous benefits such as excellent corrosion resistance to base material, superior finish and lower costs. Increasing adoption of silver cyanide for silver plating will continue to provide a strong thrust to market growth during the forecast period.
Silver cyanide has in fact become one of the ideal candidates used in silver plating applications to improve solderability, durability, conductivity, and corrosion and wear resistance of products. It is being increasingly used for silver plating of electronics (semiconductors, bearings, connectors etc.), musical instruments, power generators, utensils, jewelry and several other products. Rising demand for these products will eventually create sales prospects for silver cyanide in the future.
Similarly, growing adoption of silver cyanide in metal surface treatment and research activities is anticipated to boost the sales of silver cyanide during the forecast period. Silver cyanide is being used for chemical surface treatment to modify the physical and chemical properties of products.
However, due to its highly toxic nature, it is gradually being replaced by other chemicals in metal plating applications.
Although silver cyanide has numerous end uses, there are various obstacles likely to pose a challenge to market growth. One of the major factors that is restraining the growth of silver cyanide market is the highly toxic nature of silver cyanide.
Silver cyanide is a poisonous chemical compound that can cause various health issues ranging from acute poisoning to severe allergic reactions. It is perhaps for this reason that it is being classified as a highly toxic materials by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, Toxicology Data Network.
