Rapaport Research Report - August 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 edition outlines the state of rough-diamond production. Global output is on the decline and expected to set a new low benchmark in 2024 as the major producers respond to the slump in demand. They’ve canceled sales to realign supply with demand in the short term. But their scaling back of production is more telling, as it suggests a cautious outlook for the market in the medium to long term.
