On May 14, Anglo American plans to sell or spin off its diamond business De Beers, platinum and coking coal assets. As global economic fluctuations intensify and the diamond market cools, De Beers' divestiture of its diamond business has sparked heated discussions. The industry recommends focusing on the present and tapping into the potential of diamond consumption. This article briefly analyzes the Chinese diamond market data in the "2023 Diamond Industry Insight Report" to provide market insights and business adjustment ideas for practitioners.
Figure 3 shows that the 26-41-year-old group is the core of China’s diamond consumption, accounting for 49% of respondents, accounting for 67% of consumers, and contributing 66% of consumption. The 18-25-year-old group has grown significantly, and its consumption power has gradually matched its population proportion, indicating future potential. In the short term, 26-41 year olds will firmly occupy the market base; in the long term, 18-25 year olds will gradually become mainstream. The wedding market is dominated by people aged 26-30, who prefer clarity, size and price; those aged 31-41, who prefer size, clarity and price. 18-25 year olds are more concerned about brand ethics and social responsibility, 65% consider brand image, and prefer online search and purchase, which is twice that of older people, but their purchasing power is still limited. This age group prefers non-wedding commemorative consumption, pushing brands to expand market boundaries.
Significant trends show that consumers attach more importance to brands. Between 2016 and 2022, the market share of well-known brand diamond jewelry jumped from 44% to 92%, highlighting the trend of consumers seeking brand values and emotional resonance.
In recent years, the diamond industry has faced multiple challenges in terms of economy, supply chain and values, but this is not the first time it has experienced a market downturn. As the cornerstone of the jewelry industry, diamonds have a solid foundation. We need to remain optimistic, overcome difficulties together, and wait for the market to pick up.
