Synthetic Diamond Global Market Report 2024

The synthetic diamond market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $18.11 billion in 2023 to $19.48 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6%. The growth observed in the historic period can be attributed to several factors, including the development of pioneering high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) methods for creating synthetic diamonds, the utilization of synthetic diamonds in industrial cutting and drilling applications, the increasing usage of synthetic diamonds in electronics and semiconductor industries, the emergence of lab-grown gemstones as alternatives, and the application of synthetic diamonds in medical equipment and optical devices. These elements collectively contributed to the growth and expansion witnessed in the synthetic diamond industry during that period.

The synthetic diamond market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $25.98 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.5%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is expected due to a focus on customization to meet specialized industry needs, an expanded utilization of synthetic diamonds in the aerospace sector, advancements in quantum computing driving the demand for synthetic diamonds, increased usage of synthetic diamonds in medical equipment, and further growth in various industrial applications.

The synthetic diamond market is witnessing growth driven by the escalating use of synthetic diamonds in the electronics industry. Synthetic diamonds, with their ability to act as efficient heat sinks, are becoming integral to preventing overheating in semiconductor materials. This technology is crucial for manufacturing smaller and more powerful electronics, particularly in radio frequency and power device applications. For instance, more than 13% of synthetic diamonds are reported to be utilized in the electronics industry for semiconductors, dosimeters, sensors, lasers, and fiber optic systems, as stated by Rough and Polished, a Russia-based industry expert and analytical agency in November 2021. This increasing application in electronics is propelling the growth of the synthetic diamond market.

The escalating mining activities are poised to fuel the growth of the synthetic diamond market. Synthetic diamonds, produced through controlled laboratory processes, are an outcome of mining operations. The increase in mining activity is exemplified by the $98.2 billion worth of non-fuel mineral products from U.S. mines in 2022, a notable rise from the previous year. This heightened mining activity significantly contributes to the growth trajectory of the synthetic diamond market.

In the synthetic diamond market, technological progression emerges as the predominant trend shaping major companies' strategies. These firms are actively embracing nascent technologies to fortify their market presence. Quantum Brilliance, an Australia-based quantum computing hardware company, unveiled in September 2021, quantum computers founded on synthetic diamonds capable of room-temperature operation and miniaturization. This starkly contrasts superconducting quantum systems, which rely on extensive, energy-intensive cooling systems to maintain temperatures colder than interstellar space.

Major contenders in the synthetic diamond market are innovating by introducing lab-grown diamonds to enhance their competitive edge. Lab-grown diamonds, crafted in controlled laboratory settings, are a departure from naturally formed geological diamonds. For instance, in August 2023, Pandora A/S, a Denmark-based jewelry manufacturer, launched pandora nova, pandora era, and pandora talisman collections incorporating lab-grown diamonds. These collections, featuring the same attributes as mined diamonds, prioritize sterling silver or 14k gold settings, exceptional craftsmanship, accessibility, and affordability. This strategic launch aligns with Pandora's mission of democratizing diamonds through ethical and sustainable practices.

In January 2021, Hyperion Materials & Technologies, a US-based solutions provider for high-performance applications of hard and super-hard materials, acquired NanoDiamond Products for an undisclosed amount. The acquisition will help the company expand its synthetic diamond business across many industries, including stone cutting, electronics, oil & gas, and tool making. NanoDiamond Products is an Ireland-based manufacturer of customized nano-diamond products designed to offer consistent nano-diamond suspensions and concentrates.
