Silver Price Record High: If there is one thing that surprised people the most in the year 2025, it is the record breaking prices of silver. Till now people considered silver limited to marriage, worship or gifts. The situation is such that this year has been no less than a shock for the middle class in terms of precious metals.
Within just 20 days, an increase of about Rs 70 thousand was seen. Even though there has been a slight decline in between, the trend of the entire year clearly shows that silver is no longer a “cheap metal”. The question arises that what happened that the price of silver jumped so much? The answer lies not only in the market but in the world of global politics and technology.
Silver is used in various industries
Silver has started being used in different industries. It is the backbone of solar panels, electric vehicles, mobile phones, semiconductors, AI chips and even defense technology. On an average, 15–20 grams of silver is used in a solar panel, whereas 25 to 50 grams of silver is used in an electric vehicle. If the world has to become green and smart, then the demand for silver will automatically increase.
China is strict on exports
At the end of 2025, China announced that it would impose strict controls on silver exports. This means that now no company will be able to send silver out as per its wish. It is worth noting that China is the world’s second largest silver producer and also the largest consumer.
Like selling biryani is better than selling rice. The same model is now being applied to silver. For this reason, supply is decreasing, demand is continuously increasing and investors are making panic buying.
Will silver become the new gold?
Amidst the skyrocketing prices of silver, the big question now is, has silver become the new gold? Will the common man ever be able to buy it cheaply? Or will this game remain only for big countries and big investors? At present the truth is that silver is no longer just a metal, it has now become a weapon of geopolitics.
