Which Country Is the Largest Silver Investor In The World??

Which Country Is the Largest Silver Investor In The World??

Over the past decade, these top five countries were the leading silver investors in the world.  From 2010 to 2019, citizens in these countries invested over two billion ounces of silver bars and coins.  Which country was the largest investor of silver?  Actually, I was surprised by the data.

Since 2010, investors from India, China, United States, Germany, and Canada purchased a tad bit more than two billion ounces of silver bar and coin.  To be precise, it was 2,004 million oz.  The world’s largest investor of physical silver bullion products turned out to be Americans.  U.S. citizens invested in 929 million oz (Moz) of silver bars and coins over the past decade.

Indian investors came in second at 615 Moz, followed by Germany (265 Moz), China (139 Moz), and Canada (56 Moz).  While I wasn’t shocked that Americans were the largest physical silver investors, I was quite surprised at the amount purchased by the Chinese and Canadians.

According to the data from the Silver Institute’s 2020 World Silver Survey (by Metals Focus), while the Royal Canadian Mint produced nearly 26 Moz of Official Silver Coins in 2019, it’s citizens only purchased 5 Moz of silver bars and coins last year.  Thus, most of the Silver Maple Leafs were bought by Americans or other foreigners.

Furthermore, even though there are over 1.4 billion Chinese, it’s citizens only invested 139 Moz in silver bars and coins from 2010-2019.  Chinese tend to favor investing mostly in physical gold bullion.  In contrast, India, with a smaller population than China, invested more than four times in physical silver.  Moreover, Indians prefer silver bars over coins.  The overwhelming majority of the 615 Moz of physical silver purchased by Indians was in bar form… most likely 90+%.

What The Gold-Silver Ratio Says About The Future Silver Price

What The Gold-Silver Ratio Says About The Future Silver Price

In my recent youtube video, Amazing Silver Setup & Stock Market Update, I had a few comments stating the selloff of silver and rise in the stock market suggested that my analysis was incorrect.  I find this sort of short-term thinking quite interesting when I noted that the information in the video was presented to occur over the next 1-2 years.  Furthermore, in looking at my Youtube analytics of that video, the average watch time was about 10 minutes.  The video was 24 minutes long.

Unfortunately, the attention span of individuals today isn’t what it used to be.  So, even though the material is presented in detail, many people don’t even take the time to either read or watch it in its entirety.  Moreover, when someone replies that the silver price selling off since the video was produced doesn’t understand that markets trade over a LONG PERIOD OF TIME.  Anyone who is concerned with the silver or gold price on a daily basis (not including professional traders), needs to realize that TRENDS TAKE TIME.

Also, the naysayers that claim the precious metals analysts have been wrong since 2012 tend to overlook the massive money printing, the enormous increase in debt and the continued disintegration of the global oil industry.  If I am not getting my point across, let me provide the following chart that shows just how quickly things can fall apart when investors have been BAMBOOZLED by the Fed and Wall Street:

How did Bear Stearns go from nearly $90 a share down to $2 in a relatively short period?  How did the market not realize the big problems at Bear Stearns had taken place years prior to its selloff??  The market was oblivious due to the type of rubbish put out by Wall Street analyst CNBC’s Jim Cramer on March 8th, 2008 stating the following:
