Gold Potassium Cyanide Market Analysis
During the time frame of the forecast, the gold potassium cyanide market is expected to register a CAGR of over 3%.
The gold potassium cyanide market was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to nationwide lockdowns, strict social distancing measures, disruptions in the supply chain, and worldwide shutdowns of factories and industries, the electronics market suffered, which in turn affected the growth of the gold potassium cyanide (KCN) market. Manufacturers operating in countries under lockdown were forced to shut down entire production facilities, while the global impact on employment, income, and general consumption negatively impacted demand for consumer electronics, which in turn negatively affected the growth of the gold potassium cyanide market.
- Over the next five to ten years, the growth of the gold potassium cyanide market will be affected by how much gold is used for electroplating and how much demand there is for electronic equipment and other technological products.
- On the flip side, the fact that GPC is a highly toxic substance as well as the fluctuation in its price are major challenges expected to hinder the market growth of gold potassium cyanide during the forecast period. Also, the COVID-19 pandemic was likely to cut short-term demand for GPC because it would cause a sharp drop in commercial production in many end-user industries.
- Significant investment in R&D activities will create new opportunities in the market.
- Asia-Pacific is expected to have the largest share of the global market. This is because countries like China, Japan, and South Korea are making more progress in their electronic industries, and India and China are increasing their demand for precious metals like gold, which makes up a big part of the global demand for gold.
