Global: On a global scale, the upward movement in ruthenium prices reflects tightening supply and resurgent industrial demand. Supply constraints, stemming from its derivation as a byproduct of platinum and nickel mining, amplified price sensitivity to even modest demand shifts. At the same time, growing applications in electronics, data storage, and clean energy reinforced buyer urgency and inventory restocking. The steep upward shift signals that market participants responded to both structural scarcity and renewed downstream pressure.

The global ruthenium industry size reached 32.13 Tons in 2024. By 2033, IMARC Group expects the market to reach 44.90 Tons, at a projected CAGR of 3.61% during 2025-2033. The market is driven by rising demand in the electronics sector, particularly for data storage and chip components, alongside growing usage in chemical catalysis and energy applications such as fuel cells and electrolysis. Its limited supply as a byproduct metal further amplifies its strategic importance across high-tech and clean energy industries.
Ruthenium is a member of the platinum-group metals valued for its unique electrical, catalytic, and chemical stability characteristics. In electronics, it is used in thin‑film resistors, hard disk platters, and electrical contacts for its durability and conductivity. In catalysis, ruthenium supports key reactions in chemical and energy sectors, including hydrogenation, metathesis, and electrode applications in electrolysis. As demand intensifies, especially in data center expansion and green energy infrastructure, ruthenium commands attention as a critical specialty metal with volatile, demand-driven pricing dynamics.
