SFA's evaluation of China's market size and structure (metal flows) have been analysed from the bottom-up within a global context, the precious metals trading environment and regulations for foreign companies, processes and restrictions examined. Projections on actual consumption rates (loadings, metal content), recycling volumes and end-use growth are regularly derived and monitored.

Our team has a fast-growing network of PGM industry contacts in China's upstream supply linkages as well as with many downstream players and users across the automotive, chemical, jewellery, public and governmental sectors. Chinese keynote speakers have recently provided significant clarity and insights on precious metal recycling at our Oxford Platinum Lectures event.

SFA has also undertaken a PGM market study that covers the whole of Southeast Asia.
