Against the backdrop of global economic recovery, the silver industry chain is ushering in new development opportunities. As one of the important precious metals, silver not only plays a role in value preservation and investment in the financial market, but is also widely used in various fields such as the electronics industry, healthcare, solar cells, and automotive manufacturing due to its excellent conductivity, thermal conductivity, and antibacterial properties. To further promote the sustainable development of the silver industry and strengthen communication and cooperation within the industry, the 2025 SMM (6th) Silver Industry Chain Innovation Conference is planned to be held in May 2025.
In recent years, with the increasing global demand for renewable energy and high-tech products, the industrial application demand for silver has significantly increased. At the same time, global economic uncertainties and changes in monetary policies have also prompted more investors to pay attention to silver's safe-haven attributes. As an important global commodity market, the attention to the silver industry chain in Asia, North America, and Europe has gradually increased, with local policies, technological innovations, and market demand changes having a profound impact on the entire industry chain.
At this conference, industry peers from both upstream and downstream of the silver industry will focus on various aspects such as mining, processing, trade, investment, and application of silver, comprehensively discussing the challenges faced by the industry and future development opportunities.
