Rapaport Research Report - April 2024

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 addresses the decline in demand for diamonds in China. The country is still dealing with the aftereffects of the Covid-19 lockdowns, and consumers are cautious in the wake of economic uncertainty and a lingering real-estate crisis. Spending habits are also changing, and the younger generation is challenging cultural norms. While jewelers are enjoying a surge in gold demand, there are growing concerns about the place diamonds hold in China’s consumer landscape.
