Gemstone Market Overview

The global gemstone market is expected to grow at a 6.53% CAGR from 2023 to 2029. It is xpected to reach above USD 53.2 million by 2029 from USD 30.1 million in 2022.

Gemstones are mineral components that, once purified and cut, are used to create jewellery, ornaments, and ornamentation. Certain rocks or biological materials that are not minerals are used in the production of jewellery and hence are classified as gemstones. While most gemstones are hard in nature, several soft minerals are used in jewellery because of their brightness and other aesthetic characteristics. In addition to jewellery, hardstone sculptures and ancient jewels have been popular luxury art forms. They are frequently treated to improve the clarity or colour of the stone, and the extent and type of treatment may affect the stone’s value. Certain gemstones are designed to resemble other jewels. Synthetic moissanite and cubic zirconia, a zirconium oxide-based synthetic diamond stimulant, are examples of such jewels.

The gemstones are the same colour and look like real stones, but they lack physical and chemical properties. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond and more “fire” when compared to the same cut and size diamond. Customers prefer to acquire medium-priced gem goods through particular channels such as home shopping via television marketing, which has resulted in significant global demand for gemstones. While the middle class like to buy in sales, the upper class prefers to spend on jewellery and gemstones.

Furthermore, factors such as fashion designers focusing on producing one-of-a-kind jewellery and manufacturers being vertically integrated into the production of gemstones and jewellery are contributing to the expansion of the gemstones sector. Gemstones have several applications in the jewellery industry. The market for jewellery and diamonds has experienced a significant increase in consumer discretionary expenditure, as well as an increase in the usage of decorations in ceremonies in Asian economies. Consumers in growing economies such as the Asia Pacific are rapidly migrating away from traditional disorganized jewellery and toward organized branded products in order to protect themselves against counterfeit items.

In 2020, many countries faced strict lockdowns due to the covid-19 pandemic. These lockdowns have resulted in the partial or complete shutdown of manufacturing facilities. The shutdown of manufacturing facilities had a major impact on the consumption of materials. This led to reduced transportation resulting in a slowing down of updating the railway system. However, with the ease of lockdown manufacturing sector is expected to return to its normal growth. The global gemstone market is crowded with established players. These players have a commanding say in the market. The technology used in the gemstone market is proprietary and needs long-term research and development planning implemented efficiently.
