Gems and Jewelry Market Dynamics

DRIVER

"Expansion of lab""‑""grown diamonds market share and lower price point"

Demand for lab‑grown diamonds surged to over 10% share of diamond‑jewelry volume in 2023, with inventory pressure leading natural rough price drop of 26% and polished inventory increasing 33% year‑on‑year, holding more than USD 20 billion globally. U.S. gold jewelry tonnage reached 149.1 tons in 2022, up 26.1%.

North America represented over 40% of global market value, while Europe held more than 30%, and Asia‑Pacific approximately 23%, underpinning broad geographic demand base.

RESTRAINT

"Oversupply of natural diamonds and weakening demand in key markets"

Natural rough diamond sales fell 23% in Q1 for major producers like De Beers, while polished stocks surged 33% year‑on‑year, hitting inventory above USD 20 billion. In the U.S. and China, diamond jewelry demand remained weak in recent quarters. U.S. households spent less on mass‑market segments, with Signet and similar brands reporting same‑store sales declines even as luxury branded lines continued modest uplift. Export values from India's polished diamond industry dropped from USD 23.8 billion in 2018–19 to USD 13.2 billion in 2024–25, reflecting demand erosion and tariff impacts.

OPPORTUNITY

"Growth in mid""‑""priced and online retail channels capturing shifting consumer preference"

Mid‑priced segment held 38.4% share in 2023 global market, demonstrating appetite for affordable luxury. Online and digitally native brands captured increasing share—Pandora posted 14% U.S. growth year‑on‑year and 8% same‑store sales growth, indicating digital opportunity. Colored gemstone market valued at USD 1.9 billion in 2025 and global gemstone total at USD 33.2 billion in 2023, signaling expansion potential. North America and Europe combined represented over 70% of global market share, indicating strong opportunity in mature markets, while Asia‑Pacific (~23% share) offers fast‑growing opportunity to diversify revenue base.

CHALLENGE

"Tariffs, supply chain disruption and price pressure on natural producers"

Indian polished diamond exports shrank to USD 13.2 billion in 2024–25, down from USD 23.8 billion in 2018–19, with nearly 30% of exports (≈USD 4 billion) going to U.S., now subject to 25% tariffs. Polished inventory remains high at USD 20 billion at end‑2023, pressuring prices. De Beers reported 23% drop in Q1 rough sales. Smaller producers saw market valuations drop to USD 100 million or less. Consumers' shift to lab‑grown diamonds (priced at ~15% level of natural) squeezes margins. Fragmented supply chains and export restrictions create logistical and regulatory challenges across primary production and polishing centres.
