COVID-19 Impact

As per our analysis during the pandemic, the growth rate declined by 2.0% in 2020, and another report by the Silver Institute stated that the demand for silver from industrial applications declined by 5% in 2020. However, as the prices kept fluctuating, investors took it as an opportunity to invest in gold. Thus the market is expected to boom back during the forecast period.
