Supplies are estimates of sales by the mines of primary platinum group metals.
With the exception of the autocatalyst sector, demand estimates are net figures, demand in each sector being total purchases by consumers less any sales back to the market. Thus, annual totals represent the amount of primary platinum group metals that are acquired by consumers in a particular year. From 1996, consumption in China is incorporated into our figures for the Rest of the World region. The CIS is excluded from our demand estimates. Movements in stocks in a given year reflect changes in stocks held by fabricators, dealers, banks and depositories but excluding stocks held by primary refiners and final consumers.
