What is happening in the PGM sector?
📌Demand for Pt/Pd is set to remain sluggish in 2023 amid soft car sales
📝On our numbers, global internal combustion engine (ICE) car sales - PGMs largest consuming segment - shrank ~10% YoY in 2022F, mostly driven by a declines of 12% in China, 15% in EU+UK and 11% in US. As for 2023F, the ICE car sales are expected to stay 5% lower vs. 2021 and >20% weaker vs. pre-Covid 2019
🚘We would like to remind our readers that car autocatalysts represent 83% and 30% of world Pd and Pt demand in 2022F, respectively
❗️Among few positive demand factors, the gradual tightening of global emission regulations might increase average Pd loadings per vehicle in the longer term (China’s shift to 6b from 6a in 2023, etc.)
