Palladium Price FAQ
- How much is 1 kilo of palladium worth today?
The palladium price fluctuates continuously during market hours. See the live palladium price above for the current value per kilo.
- What determines the palladium price?
Palladium prices are overwhelmingly driven by automotive demand, where it is used in gasoline vehicle catalytic converters to reduce harmful emissions. About 80% of palladium demand comes from this sector. Supply is concentrated in Russia (about 40%) and South Africa (about 35%), making it sensitive to geopolitical risk and mining disruptions.
- Why has palladium declined from its all-time highs?
Palladium peaked above $3,000/oz in 2022 due to supply fears from Russia-Ukraine sanctions. It has since declined as automakers accelerated substitution toward cheaper platinum in catalytic converters, electric vehicle adoption reduced combustion engine production, and increased recycling boosted secondary supply.
