Diamond Global Market Report 2024

The diamond market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $2.43 billion in 2023 to $2.59 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7%. The expansion observed in the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the jewelry industry, where diamonds serve as symbols of luxury and status, industrial applications, their role as investments and stores of value, and their cultural significance.

The diamond market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3.29 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.2%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be linked to the sustained demand in the jewelry sector, the increasing affluence and growth of the middle class, emerging market preferences, the emphasis on sustainable and ethical sourcing, as well as innovations in marketing and retail strategies. Noteworthy trends expected in the forecast period include the trend of customization and personalization in diamond jewelry, the integration of artificial intelligence in diamond grading processes, investments in diamond futures, a growing interest in vintage and secondhand diamonds, and a shift in consumer behavior towards valuing experiences over possessions.

The growth witnessed in the diamond market is a result of the increasing population in developing nations such as China and India, driven by rising disposable income, heightened demand, and increased availability of credit. Disposable income, defined as the amount of money an individual or household has after income taxes have been deducted, plays a pivotal role in this trend. Marine mining, a form of diamond extraction from offshore placer deposits, contributes to the diversity of diamonds available in the market. In 2021, data from the Bureau of Statistics of China indicated that disposable personal income in China increased to 47,412 CNY. Thus, the upward trajectory of disposable income is a key factor propelling the growth of the diamond market.

Anticipated expansion in the diamond market is also linked to the burgeoning e-commerce and online retailing sector. E-commerce, involving the buying and selling of goods and services over the internet, provides diamond retailers with a global reach, offering customers a convenient shopping experience, easy comparison, customization options, secure transactions, access to reviews and ratings, and clear return policies. According to census.gov, retail trade sales increased by 0.6% from July 2023, and e-commerce sales in the second quarter of 2023 witnessed a notable 7.5% increase when compared to the same period in 2022. A significant share of 15.4% of all sales in the second quarter of 2023 occurred through online stores, emphasizing the substantial impact of the e-commerce sector on the diamond market.

To enhance operational efficiency in the global diamond market, companies in the diamond industry are adopting X-Ray Transmission (XRT) technology. This technology involves passing a mineral concentrate through sensors that use X-rays to measure the absorption of each stone. XRT technology is becoming a standard in the industry, adopted by both new mines and older mines transitioning to more advanced practices.

Major players in the diamond market are innovating by introducing new products such as lab-grown diamonds to stay competitive. Lab-grown diamonds, created in a laboratory setting rather than through natural geological processes, offer an alternative to mined diamonds. In August 2023, Pandora A/S, a Denmark-based jewelry manufacturer, launched collections named Pandora Nova, Pandora Era, and Pandora Talisman featuring lab-grown diamonds set in sterling silver or 14k white or yellow gold. These lab-grown diamonds possess qualities identical to mined diamonds in terms of color, cut, clarity, and carat. The introduction of these collections aligns with Pandora's goal of democratizing diamonds through ethically and environmentally responsible practices, offering reasonably priced, high-quality jewelry with minimal environmental impact.
