Rapaport Research Report - April 2023

The Rapaport Research Report is essential reading for those seeking to understand diamond price trends and the current state of the industry throughout the diamond pipeline.

The report includes extensive, proprietary data from RapNet, the world’s largest diamond trading platform, giving a snap shot of real-world pricing information, inventory levels and transactional data to help you keep track of the market. This includes average prices, discounts and inventory by country alongside search volume, average time to sale and transaction volume.

In addition to reviewing the global rough, polished and retail markets, each month the Rapaport Research Report focuses in on a key issue affecting the diamond industry, providing definitive analysis and insight, while assessing the potential impact on your business and the industry as a whole.

This report outlines the possible sticking points in the negotiations for new marketing and mining agreements between De Beers and the Botswana government, which have been delayed since 2021. As the June deadline approaches, each brings its own leverage to the table. The parties will be hoping to thrash out a deal that will be a net positive for both, as well as for the people of Botswana and the industry — as these deals have historically done.
