The global synthetic diamond market size reached USD 17.1 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 30.2 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 6.22% during 2025-2033. The market is primarily driven by the growing demand for industrial applications, the significant expansion of the jewelry industry, and the widespread adoption of synthetic diamonds in semiconductor industries for its applications in electronics and cutting tools.
Synthetic diamonds are man-made or laboratory-grown diamonds generally manufactured by subjecting graphite under high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) and chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. They are widely used as hard coatings for industrial equipment, such as wire-drawing dies, quarrying saws, grinding wheels, machine tools, and mining drills. Unlike natural diamonds, synthetic diamonds are produced under precisely regulated circumstances, have fewer flaws, and exhibit limited indications of strain in their crystal structure. Apart from this, they exhibit hardness, electron mobility, and thermal conductivity, due to which they find extensive applications across the construction, electronics, mining, and oil and gas industries.
Significant growth in the electronics industry across the globe is creating a positive outlook for the market. Synthetic diamonds are widely used in high-power switches at power plants, high-frequency field-effect transistors, and light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In line with this, the widespread product adoption in telecommunications, due to its high refractive index with minimized information loss during high-level-security signal transmission, is favoring the market growth. Apart from this, synthetic diamonds are sustainable and free of unethical mining, which, in turn, is providing an impetus to the market growth. Furthermore, the extensive product utilization in various industrial applications, such as manufacturing machines and computer chips, mining, medical procedures, space science, and stone cutting, is acting as another growth-inducing factor. Besides this, the growing popularity of synthetic diamonds as an alternative to natural diamonds owing to their eco-friendliness, rising disposable incomes of consumers, and widespread product incorporation in UV (ultraviolet) light or high-energy particle detectors are anticipated to drive the market toward growth.
