Silver Supercycle 2026 – The Golden Era of Silver Power Driving Green Tech & AI

China has emerged as the price-setter of the global silver market, importing over 790 tons in the first two months of 2026 and enforcing strict export controls. Silver is now classified as a strategic resource, powering:
Solar PV: New TOPCon and HJT panels use 30–50% more silver
Electric Vehicles (EVs): Silver usage nearly doubles compared to gasoline cars
AI & Data Centers: Essential for chips, high-performance computing, and 5G/6G infrastructure
✨ Key Message:
“Silver is no longer just a precious metal – it is the power of the future. Driving Green Tech and AI, 2026 marks the Supercycle everyone must watch.”

“China Slows, World Rebalances – H2 2026 Global Turning Point and New Opportunities for Thailand”
SO OK TRADING | 17 June 2026
In the second half of 2026, China’s economy enters a phase of “stable slowdown.” For the first time in three decades, the government has set its GDP growth target at 4.5%–5.0%, signaling a shift from quantity-driven growth to quality-driven development, with a strong emphasis on innovation and sustainability.
China is advancing its 15th Five-Year Plan, focusing on building New Quality Productive Forces by investing in AI, clean energy, and smart industries.

Global Plastic Crisis! Overlapping Shocks Shake the Industry
At the beginning of 2026, the world faced a “Petrochemical Shock” that sent plastic raw material prices soaring by more than 37%. Conflicts in the Middle East and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz caused a severe shortage of naphtha—the lifeblood of the plastic industry—across the globe.
Japan and South Korea were forced to cut production, while China accelerated its shift to alternative energy. Europe and the United States also struggled under surging costs.
At the same time, the world is grappling with an environmental crisis from overflowing plastic waste. Recycling rates remain at only 10%, while the other 90% is landfilled, incinerated, or leaked into the environment. Alarmingly, microplastics have already entered the food chain and the human body.
This is not just a “temporary crisis” but a structural turning point for the global plastic industry.
Companies that adapt quickly—embracing Bio-based Plastics, Chemical Recycling, and the Circular Economy—will emerge as leaders in the new era now taking shape.
