Silver's industrial demand - anyone else seeing this as a huge driver?

• •Been thinking a lot lately about how heavily industrialized silver is, and what that means for my Silver IRA holdings, especially compared to gold.
• •EVs, solar panels, electronics – it's everywhere.
• •Gold, while great, doesn't have that same constant industrial consumption.

Been thinking a lot lately about how heavily industrialized silver is, and what that means for my Silver IRA holdings, especially compared to gold. I've got a good chunk of my retirement in precious metals (north of 7 figures total across the board, probably 30% of that is physical gold/silver in an IRA, the rest is in real estate and my business). My logistics company is doing well enough for me to be thinking about succession planning in the next 5-7 years, and I want to make sure my portfolio is rock solid for when I step back.

Here in Memphis, I'm constantly seeing products moving in and out of manufacturing facilities, and it just hits home how much actual use silver has beyond just being a store of value. EVs, solar panels, electronics – it's everywhere. Gold, while great, doesn't have that same constant industrial consumption. Doesn't that make silver inherently more insulated from some of the purely speculative swings that gold might see? I mean, even if faith in governments wavers, there's still a baseline demand for silver from industries that just need the metal to function.

I feel pretty good about my current allocations, especially knowing how much industrial growth is projected globally. It feels like a more pragmatic bet in some ways, even with the volatility. Am I overthinking this, or do others in the Gold/Silver IRA space weigh industrial demand as heavily as I do when considering their silver positions? Curious to hear some other perspectives on this, especially from folks who might have a longer view or deeper analysis of these market forces.
