Silver Demand to Remain Strong in 2026

The Silver Institute’s annual report on the international silver market, World Silver Survey 2026, which will be released this month. Of course we will report the latest finding here at Republic Monetary Exchange.

In the meantime, the Silver Institute, an industry trade association, is reporting:

Silver reached a record high this year ─ breaching the psychologically important US$100 level for the first time ─ fueled mainly by rising investor interest… Silver then declined below US$80 but has since formed technical support.

The underlying drivers that supported silver throughout much of 2025 have remained firmly in place so far this year. These include tight physical supply in London, a volatile geopolitical backdrop, US policy uncertainty, and concerns over the Federal Reserve’s independence.

The silver market is expected to remain in deficit (total supply less demand) for a sixth consecutive year in 2026.

Physical investment is forecast to rise by 20 percent to a three-year high of 227 million ounces.

Total global silver supply is forecast to increase by 1.5 percent in 2026. Even so, the silver market is expected to remain in deficit in 2026 for the sixth consecutive year, at 67 million ounces.
