The VM Group and ABN AMRO Bank N.V also publish detailed coverage of the gold and pgm markets on a bi-annual basis in the form of the Yellow Book and the White Book respectively.
So, hier nun die Verbrauchstrends von Silber. Macht wirklich Lust auf mehr. Mehr findet Ihr oben unter dem Link...

The most important new end use for silver offtake belongs to the solar energy
sector. Silver is used not just in crystalline silicon solar cells as the conducting
medium to channel the electron flow created by the electric field, but is also
used in highly reflective mirrors that are and will be used extensively in solar
concentrator plants. Both these solar power generating sectors have seen almost
exponential growth recently, and while capital costs and generating costs are still
high relative to fossil fuel power generation, costs per Watt are falling, drawing
closer to wholesale electricity prices.
With each crystalline silicon solar cell containing as much as 0.12 grams per
Watt of silver, the solar sector is already a major silver consumer, with an
estimated 18 Moz consumed in 2009 while reflective mirrors consumed 15 Moz
in 2009. However this includes other non-solar mirror usages and the actual
figure is a much reduced 2 Moz in 2009. Although the photovoltaic sector, like
all industries, took a hit during the recession, announcements by the US, India
and China in 2009 to raise their respective solar power capacity have lifted the
market. India plans to increase its solar output to 20 Gigawatts by 2020 from
virtually zero now, while the Chinese plan to raise their capacity from 5.5 GW to
30 GW by 2020. The US is extremely keen to press ahead with numerous
projects that could see it become the world leader in installed solar capacity in
the close future.
Globally, projections for solar generating capacity by 2020 are currently 20 to
40 times that of today’s 20 GW of installed capacity. Some projections see solar
power accounting for as much as 20% of global power generation capacity by
2050.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) currently estimates that as much as
3,000 GW of solar generating capacity will be in place by 2050, accounting for
11% of total world power generating capacity. The IEA based their forecast on a
50:50 split between photovoltaic generation and concentrator technology. This
equates to about 85 Moz/year of silver offtake between 2010-2050 for
photovoltaics alone, taking into account the increasing market share of nonsilver
containing thin film photovoltaic technology and improved silver loading
efficiencies.
We have adopted a much more conservative approach in our estimates than the
IEA or others as far as solar energy is concerned. Nevertheless, we forecast an
average compound annual growth rate of about 17.5% over the next decade,
which means that total installed capacity will rise by at least 500%.
After taking into account the increasing market share of non-silver containing
thin film solar panels, and the gradual improvement of silver loading
efficiencies, this will require about 70 Moz of silver per year by 2020. And this
factors in only photovoltaic units, and not reflective mirrors used currently in
solar power concentrator power plants being built or in the pipeline. This will
mean at least a 25% increase in silver offtake for reflective mirrors over the next
decade, to 60 Moz per year – including offtake from non-solar mirror demand.
The global push towards greener energy generation will have a significant
impact on silver offtake.
Water purification
Another rapidly growing major end use for silver is in water purification. Our
figures project just a small rise in growth in this sector in the next decade, but, as
with our estimates for silver usage in solar energy, our forecast is very
conservative.
Silver has long been used in to purify drinking water and cleanse swimming
pool water. These are big industries – there are millions of portable and semi
So wie es aussieht, ist wieder Schlangestehen angesagt - habe selbst zwei Leute im Freudeskreis, die sich für morgen fest vorgenommen haben, nachzukaufen - bzw. erstmals einzukaufen (einer von beiden ist noch gar nicht investiert). Die haben auf den Dämpfer nur gewartet. Meine Empfehlung vorher die Verfügbarkeit zu prüfen, wurde in den Wind geschlagen - allerdings auch in weiser Voraussicht, dass es an solchen Tagen ohnehin meist unmöglich ist, telefonisch durchzukommen - also werden wieder viele hinfahren, die Reste einsammeln und fluchend wieder heimfahren
