Global Platinum Group Metals Market 2014-2018 with Anglo American Platinum, JSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, Lonmin, Stillwater Mining & Impala Platinum Holdings Dominating
M2 - Wed Apr 16, 4:02AM CDT
Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/zxsx23/global_platinum) has announced the addition of the "Global Platinum Group Metals Market 2014-2018 with Anglo American Platinum, JSC MMC Norilsk Nickel, Lonmin, Stillwater Mining & Impala Platinum Holdings Dominating" report to their offering. One of the major drivers in this market is the increasing usage of PGM in the Automobile sector. PGM play a significant role in making modern cars efficient and safe. Eco-friendly innovations such as fuel cells and catalytic converters would not be possible without PGM. The increasing vehicle production worldwide, especially that expected to take place in Asia in the coming years, presents a huge opportunity for the usage of PGM in the Automobile sector. The sharp rise in the number of vehicles will lead to the implementation of stringent emission standards for diesel vehicles, particularly in the Commercial Vehicle segment, thereby resulting in the rising consumption of autocatalysts to control vehicular emissions. Also, the electronic and safety systems that improve automobile reliability make use of the physical properties of PGM such as conductivity, stability, and durability. PGM are also used in the Automobile sector in fuel cells, antilock breaking systems, air bag initiators, and spark plugs. Hence, the booming Automobile sector and the increased usage of PGM in automobiles are expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period. Further, the report states that one of the major challenges in this market is the increasing demand and supply gap. PGM are used across various sectors in a number of applications; hence, there is a high demand for these metals. However, since they are natural resources, their supply is limited. It is expected that there will be a shortage of platinum and palladium during the forecast period. Key vendors dominating this space are: - Anglo American Platinum Ltd - JSC MMC Norilsk Nickel - Lonmin plc - Stillwater Mining Co. - Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. Other vendors mentioned in the report are: - African Rainbow Minerals Ltd. (ARM) - Glencore Xstrata plc - Eastern Platinum Ltd - North American Palladium Ltd.
