Uses
What rhodium is used for
Rhodium (Rh) is the most effective metal for cutting nitrogen oxides from exhaust, which is why most of it ends up in the three-way catalytic converters of petrol cars. It is also used in the glass industry, in platinum-rhodium bushings that spin glass fibre and form display glass, and in chemical catalysts.
Other uses
- Nitric acid catalyst gauzes, with platinum
- Plating for jewellery and mirrors
- Thermocouples and electrical contacts
- Chemical process catalysts
Market
Rhodium supply and demand factors
Rhodium is one of the most thinly traded precious metals, produced as a tiny by-product of platinum mining, mostly in South Africa. Demand is dominated by petrol car catalysts, where rhodium cuts nitrogen oxides, so tighter emissions rules push demand up while supply cannot respond. That imbalance makes rhodium the most volatile of the platinum group metals.
What moves the price
- Car production and emissions rules
- South African mining output and power supply
- Thrifting and substitution in catalysts
- Glass industry demand
History
Rhodium price history
Rhodium has the most extreme price history of the platinum group metals. It spiked in 2008, collapsed in the financial crisis, then hit a record in 2021 as tighter emissions rules met constrained South African supply, before falling back steeply as car demand and supply normalised.
As of October 2026, the Stockatomics benchmark price is $258,682 per kg contained.
Production
Where rhodium is produced
Rhodium is a by-product of platinum mining, overwhelmingly from South Africa, whose UG2 reef is unusually rich in it. Russia and Zimbabwe produce smaller amounts, and recycling of spent autocatalysts is a significant secondary source.
Criticality
Why rhodium is a critical mineral
Rhodium is on the US critical minerals list, and the platinum group metals are on the EU critical raw materials list. Nitrogen oxide catalysts depend on it, and supply is a by-product of platinum mining in South Africa.
Benchmark
How the rhodium benchmark price is calculated
Stockatomics publishes a monthly US benchmark price for rhodium in US dollars per kg contained, reading as of October 2026. The price is for contained rhodium metal, not for a catalytic converter.

FAQ
Rhodium price FAQ
What is the price of rhodium per kg today?
As of October 2026, the US benchmark price of rhodium is $258,682 per kg contained. Stockatomics updates it every month.
What is rhodium used for?
Mainly catalytic converters for petrol cars, where it removes nitrogen oxides, plus glass manufacturing and chemical catalysts.
Why is rhodium so volatile?
Its market is tiny, supply is a by-product that cannot respond to price, and demand from catalysts is hard to cut, so small imbalances move prices dramatically.
Who produces rhodium?
Mostly South Africa, with smaller amounts from Russia and Zimbabwe and from recycled autocatalysts.
How is the rhodium benchmark price calculated?
The Stockatomics benchmark for rhodium is a monthly US price in US dollars per kg contained, published every month and current as of October 2026. How the benchmark is calculated.
