Market Research Intellect, via an openPR release, projects the global diamond jewelry market will reach USD 120.77 billion by 2033 — a shift with measurable financial impact for wholesalers, U.S. retailers and investors alike. The report cites roughly a 5% compound annual growth rate in the mid-2020s and highlights expanding demand driven by premiumization, lab-grown stones and wider e-commerce penetration.
- Price: USD 120.77 billion (2033 forecast)
- Carat mix: Market-weighted retail average ~0.35–1.20 ct (mix estimate)
- Origin: Global demand led by India, China and North America
- Date: Report published 2024; forecast horizon 2025–2033
Context: 2025 Trends Driving the Upswing
The projection is not a single-factor story. Three structural shifts that define 2025 are central: sustainability and traceability, the commercial ascent of lab-grown diamonds, and a move toward sculptural, design-forward pieces. Consumers — particularly Millennials and Gen Z — are specifying provenance and environmental credentials with the same care they once reserved for cut and clarity. That behavioural shift gives lab-grown inventory a greater commercial surface area without erasing the market for natural stones with substantial heft and long-term resale cachet.
Technology is simultaneously reducing friction. Virtual try-on and AR fittings are converting consideration into purchase with higher basket sizes; certification and blockchain-led traceability reduce post-sale returns and support premium pricing where provenance is verified. Asia‑Pacific remains the largest growth engine: urbanization and an expanding middle class in India and China increase volume, while North America and Europe sustain value through luxury spend and branded assortments.
Impact for U.S. Retailers and Investors
For U.S. retailers the forecast is a prompt to reassess assortment, pricing and capital allocation. Practical implications:
- Reprice inventory: Expect margin compression where lab-grown stones expand share; price natural diamonds to highlight vitreous luster, certification and scarcity.
- Mix strategy: Allocate floor and marketing real estate to a calibrated lab-grown / natural split; smaller, sculptural pieces capture younger buyers while classic bridal collections retain higher-ticket resale value.
- Operational upgrades: Invest in traceability tools and AR try-on to lower return rates and increase conversion — small tech investments can yield outsized sales density improvements.
- Investor lens: Growth at ~5% CAGR suggests both steady equity upside for public players and selective opportunity in private labels that scale omnichannel distribution and sustainable sourcing.

The takeaway for U.S. stakeholders: the market’s projected ascent to USD 120.77 billion is actionable — not abstract. It demands tactical changes in sourcing, merchandising and digital engagement to capture value as the industry rebalances between lab-grown accessibility and the enduring investment appeal of natural stones.
