Understanding Palladium Price Per Kilogram

Palladium kilo bars are among the rarest physical precious metal products available. Unlike gold or silver kilo bars, which are widely stocked by bullion dealers, palladium bars in kilogram sizes are uncommon in the retail market. The vast majority of palladium is consumed by the automotive industry for catalytic converters, leaving relatively little for investment-grade bar production. Institutional buyers, industrial users, and specialized collectors are the primary purchasers of palladium kilo bars. Premiums tend to be significantly higher than for gold or platinum due to limited availability and lower dealer inventory turnover.

  • Palladium kilo bars are rare in retail markets -- most palladium goes directly to industrial consumers
  • Premiums on palladium bars are typically 5-10% over spot, significantly higher than gold or platinum bars
  • About 80% of palladium demand comes from automotive catalytic converters for gasoline engines
  • Russia (~40%) and South Africa (~35%) dominate global palladium production
  • Palladium sponge and ingots for industrial use are more common than investment-grade kilo bars

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a kilo of palladium cost?
The price of 1 kg of palladium equals the current XPD/USD spot price multiplied by 32.1507 troy ounces, plus a dealer premium. Palladium bar premiums are typically 5-10% over spot due to limited retail availability. Visit our live palladium chart for the current spot price to calculate today's kilogram cost.
Are palladium kilo bars available to buy?
Palladium kilo bars exist but are difficult to source compared to gold or silver. Most palladium is consumed by the automotive industry rather than refined into investment bars. Specialized bullion dealers and precious metals wholesalers occasionally stock palladium bars from refiners like Johnson Matthey, Heraeus, and Valcambi. Smaller bar sizes (1 oz, 10 oz) are generally easier to find than full kilo bars.
Why are palladium bars so rare?
Palladium bars are rare because roughly 80% of annual palladium production goes directly to the automotive industry for catalytic converter manufacturing. Global palladium mine production is only about 210 metric tons per year -- far less than gold's 3,300 tons. The combination of limited production and dominant industrial consumption leaves very little palladium available for investment-grade bar fabrication.
How does palladium per kilo compare to platinum?
Palladium and platinum prices per kilogram have fluctuated dramatically relative to each other. Palladium was historically cheaper than platinum but surpassed it in 2019 due to surging catalytic converter demand and Russian supply concerns. Since the 2022 peak, palladium has declined while platinum has held steadier. The current price relationship depends on EV adoption rates, substitution trends, and geopolitical factors affecting Russian exports.
