The market would see various growth prospects if established players expanded into emerging markets and jewelry sales increased through internet channels. Leading players are also introducing innovative technology for cutting and polishing diamonds and optimizing yields, including automated cutting procedures and enhanced digital mapping and modeling.
Further, due to increased environmental concerns, the market's biggest brands are embracing sustainable cutting and polishing procedures. For the sake of sustainability, several non-profit organizations are collaborating with these players. For instance, in December 2019, The Diamond Empowerment Fund announced that it would rename Diamonds Do Good®, based on the simplicity, relevance, and resonance of its tagline.
The non-profit group's logo has been reimagined to reflect the transition, and its iconic Las Vegas event, hosted on the eve of the JCK Show's launch, will be reimagined as well. The objective of the Empowerment Fund has been to support projects that help people in diamond populations around the globe develop and empower themselves. However, the worldwide market is being hampered by the fast development of lab-grown diamonds and the expensive cost of equipment.
Growth Drivers
Due to technical developments, the market is gaining traction. Grinding is a method of diamond cutting, which involves pressing the diamond to be cut against a diamond-covered steel wheel spinning at the speed of 3,000 rpms. During the cutting and polishing procedure, most of the diamonds release 40 to 45% of their rough value. To cut diamonds effectively and select the most profitable cuts, advanced computer systems with three-dimensional photographs are used. Computer-driven equipment that can cut 24-carat diamonds at ease is already available in the market, thanks to technological breakthroughs.
To give diamonds their distinctive sharp-edged forms, lasers have been utilized in the bruiting and beveling processes. On the other side, cutting advances are seeing the introduction of robots like Fenix, which is utilized by the Baunat. As a result, big and small businesses in the market can plan investments in cutting robots to virtually cut any diamond that isn't beyond the reach of manual cutting to benefit from additional prospects.
