In 2025, consumers spent $23.8 billion on lab-grown diamond jewelry. This sharp increase in demand was driven mainly by rising sales in India and China, alongside growing demand for engagement rings set with lab-grown diamonds.

Growers captured just 5% of the total value, while retailers took the lion’s share. India, meanwhile, emerged as the largest producer of gem-quality lab-grown diamonds, despite often being considered the second-largest producer.

Our latest analysis, The 2025 Lab-Grown Diamond Value Chain, examines production, pricing, India's growing dominance, and how value is distributed from reactor to retail.

US jewelry sales were up 3% in value. Units fell 7%, and average prices rose 10%.

Shoppers are buying fewer pieces and paying more for each one. Gold is gaining from that, while diamond jewelry is losing ground.

40X market growth has come at the cost of natural diamond jewellery industry globally -

Time will tell how this plays out in remaining key markets of India & China domestically.

To all those who still are trying to fight LGD's..., let these realistic numbers sink in..., real deep. Neither the pearl scenario nor the Swiss parallel will do, diamonds will require an entire innovative parallel of its own to bring the sparkle back to naturals.
