According to Fortune Business Insights, the palladium market size was USD 20.0 billion in 2024. The market is expected to grow from USD 20.4 billion in 2025 to USD 23.6 billion by 2032 at a CAGR of 2.1% during the forecast period. Asia Pacific dominated the palladium market with a market share of 44.00% in 2024.

Palladium is a chemical element and a member of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs), a group of rare precious metals. Its high melting point and corrosion resistance have made it an ideal ingredient in many industrial processes. The industrial uses of this element range from catalytic converters, chemicals, and dental to jewelry. Its most common use is in automotive catalytic converters, which help reduce the carbon emissions from automotive engines. The ability to ensure effective chemical reactions throughout a vehicle’s life cycle has made palladium an irreplaceable catalyst in catalytic converters. It is also an important raw material in certain stages of semiconductor manufacturing, specifically in MultiLayer Ceramic Capacitors (MLCCs).

It also sheds light on the latest market trends and prominent industry developments. Apart from the factors mentioned above, the report covers several other factors that have helped this market grow.

Drivers and Restraints:

Growing Use of Platinum Group Metals in Vehicles to Fuel Market Expansion

The use of Platinum Group Metals (PGMs) is steadily increasing across the automotive industry, despite a decrease in the production and sales of vehicles. The use of catalytic converters in vehicles has increased considerably due to the introduction of stringent regulations with regards to carbon emissions. This scenario has compelled vehicle manufacturing companies to use more PGMs per catalytic converter and develop innovative exhaust treatment systems, which will further strengthen the market growth.

However, the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine can impede the palladium market growth.

Regional Insights:

Asia Pacific to Dominate Market Due to Rapid Expansion of Key Industries

Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2022 as several industries across the region, such as chemical, automotive, and electronics are growing at a robust pace. The region is considered a hub of these sectors, which is why it has created several lucrative opportunities for the key market players to grow.

Europe is predicted to showcase moderate growth during the forecast timeline due to the declining demand for diesel cars and growing production of hybrid and gasoline vehicles.
