Global Rhodium Prices Movement January 2026:
The rhodium price index in January 2026 reached USD 393,206.34/kg globally, reflecting a sharp 28.0% increase. Strong demand from automotive catalytic converter production supported the rise, as manufacturers increased procurement to meet stricter emission compliance requirements across major industrial regions.
Supply Constraints
Limited rhodium availability from primary producing regions contributed to tighter supply conditions. Mining output remained constrained due to operational challenges and maintenance activities. These supply-side limitations amplified price movements, especially amid consistent industrial consumption during the month.
Automotive Demand
The automotive sector remained the largest consumer of rhodium in January 2026. Increased vehicle production and stricter emission standards drove higher usage in catalytic converters, reinforcing upward price momentum as manufacturers prioritized securing adequate material volumes.
Production Challenges
Rhodium production faced ongoing challenges linked to labor constraints, infrastructure issues, and rising operational costs. These factors restricted output growth, keeping availability tight and supporting elevated pricing levels throughout the global supply chain.
Short-Term Outlook
Rhodium prices are expected to remain elevated in the near term due to continued demand from emissions-control applications. Supply recovery is likely to remain gradual, suggesting sustained price strength unless production levels improve significantly.
