Our Intent - About Us - World Platinum Investment Council

The World Platinum Investment Council - WPIC® - was formed in 2014 by the leading platinum producers to develop the market for platinum investment demand.

Our mission is to stimulate investor demand for physical platinum through both actionable insights and targeted development: providing investors with the information to support informed decisions regarding platinum and working with financial institutions and market participants to develop products and channels that investors need.

WPIC is a global market authority on physical platinum investment, providing investors with objective and reliable platinum market intelligence.

Demand for platinum is diverse and global. We believe providing regular data and insights means that platinum is considered by more investors.

Platinum Quarterly is our flagship publication that provides independent supply and demand data, as well as commentary, on the platinum market. Incorporated within the current outlook are the risks to supply from power shortages in South Africa, as well as the operational challenges potentially facing Russian production as a result of Western sanctions in response to its invasion of Ukraine. We also provide insights into the outlook for strong demand growth from automotive and industrial applications, as well as updates on jewellery and investment demand.

The demand outlook for platinum is supported by the growing hydrogen economy. While hydrogen demand for platinum is developing off a small base today, it is projected to become the major driver of platinum demand in the 2030s, underpinning platinum’s already important role as a catalyst in reducing harmful emissions.

As an organisation we are:

Informed as to why platinum is an attractive long-term source of investor value

Committed to providing investment insights which advance platinum as an investment option

Clear in sourcing information only from trusted providers

Responsive to the needs of platinum investment market participants, both professional and private, around the world
