The burgeoning automotive industry serves as a primary driver for the upsurge in the industrial diamond market. This industry, encompassing vehicle production, development, design, marketing, and distribution, heavily relies on industrial diamonds for numerous operations due to their efficiency and durability compared to other abrasives. In automotive applications, these diamonds are integral for frame cutting, chamfering edges, shaping, forming, and weld removal. Notably, as per The European Automobile Manufacturers Association's March 2022 Economic and Market Report, global car production soared by 2.7% to 63.2 million units. Various regions experienced substantial increases in car sales, such as a 5.5% rise in US passenger car sales to 11.9 million units and a 7.1% surge in Chinese automakers' vehicle production to 20.7 million units in 2017. The EU also observed a significant uptick, with commercial car registrations escalating by 9.6% to 1.8 million units and van sales growing by 8.5% to over 1.6 million units. Consequently, the rapid growth of the automotive industry fuels the expansion of the industrial diamond market.

The swift industrialization and burgeoning manufacturing sector significantly contribute to the growth of the industrial diamond market. Industrialization involves transitioning economies from agriculture-centric to manufacturing-focused. This shift results in heightened demand for industrial diamonds owing to their indispensability in various industrial operations. Their cost-effectiveness and superior cutting capabilities make them pivotal in manufacturing. According to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization's March 2022 report, global manufacturing production surged by 9.4% in 2021. Additionally, Goldman Sachs reported a staggering 210% growth in India's manufacturing sector in the fiscal year 2021-2022, compared to the preceding fiscal year, accompanied by substantial increases in new investments and orders. Hence, rapid industrialization and manufacturing growth are key drivers propelling the industrial diamond market.

Technological advancements mark a significant trend reshaping the industrial diamond market. Leading players in this industry are keen on innovating new technologies to retain their market dominance. For instance, in May 2022, De Beers Group introduced Tracr, the first blockchain-backed diamond source platform globally. Tracr integrates distributed ledger technology with robust data security and privacy features, empowering users with control over data accessibility. The platform provides each user with an exclusive distributed version, ensuring personalized data management and strengthened security through immutable transaction records.

Major players in the industrial diamond market are leveraging strategic partnerships to expand their diamond platform and accelerate the development of innovative applications.
