Market Highlights

The global diamond mining market is accounted to register a CAGR of 5.51% during the forecast period and is estimated to reach USD 630.203 billion by 2032.

In many production processes, the use of sophisticated cutting tools has expanded due to the growing consumer demand for high-quality products. Due to their high abrasiveness, wear resilience, and hardness, diamonds are the ideal material for a wide range of industrial uses. For instance, tiny diamonds are utilized in grinding wheels for purposes involving cutting, grinding, and drilling. Diamond powder is also utilized in polishing applications. The production of electronic circuits, laser components, and information processors is another major market for industrial-grade diamonds. In addition, a number of researchers are experimenting with using diamonds as heat sinks in computer and electronic applications. Therefore, the market for diamond mining will be driven by the growing number of uses for industrial-grade diamonds.

Segment Analysis

The global diamond mining market has been segmented into type and application.

On the basis of type, the market is segmented into Underground Mining and Open-Pit Mining. The underground mining segment was attributed to holding the largest market share in 2022. The method of mining underground involves taking diamonds out of the earth's surface. Diamond core drill bits, such as those with rotary or wireline drilling systems attached, are used in underground mining. Additionally, it is anticipated that rising investments in underground diamond extraction will increase demand for diamond mining.

Based on application, the global diamond mining market has been segmented into Jewelry, Industrial, and Research. The jewelry segment was expected to hold the largest market share in 2022 due to the growing populations of developing countries and rising disposable income. Other reasons propelling the growth of the jewelry business are the expanding middle class and the growing spending power of millennials and Generation Z. Millennials prefer to spend their extra cash on experiences like travel over luxury goods.
