COVID-19 IMPACT

"CVD Diamond Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to Market surge during COVID-19 Pandemic"

The Global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The industrial scene of the diamond industry, namely the chemical vapor deposited diamond industry, was disrupted by the COVID pandemic in the same way as the general diamond industry. Global diamond production fell by almost 20 percent in 2020. Rough diamond sales plunged 33 percent after mining activities slowed or came to a halt as a result of lockdowns and travel restrictions. An important cutting and processing hub, India saw a dip in polished diamond exports by a whopping 73 percent during March 2020 over the previous year. Such a disruption caused inventories to stack up, as manufacturers and dealers faced challenges moving their products, leading to a backlog of diamonds that just could not be sold. Furthermore, the pandemic also caused declines in consumer demand for luxury items such as diamonds because of the prevailing economic uncertainties and distancing measures, which were restrictive in nature with their spending on things not necessary.

LATEST TREND

"Market growth is driven by demand for unique, colored diamonds"

The significant aspect of an advancing technology and consumer rejection of mined diamond alternatives has made massive inroads into the growth of the CVD (chemical vapor deposition) diamond market. One most striking feature is the emerging trend for coloured CVD diamonds. These diamonds are produced as a result of the subsequent introduction of controlled impurities during growth in order to create the dazzling pink, blue, and yellow effects. They will provide most consumers with the opportunity to offer something distinctive outside of what can be had through the mass collections of both colour and size since it meets well with the increasing popularity of personalized and unique jewellery pieces. Moreover, as more and more consumers prefer such products, the most cost-effective way to generate coloured diamonds with consistency is by keeping their purity level even lower than that of their natural-coloured counterparts.
