In recent years, lab diamonds have gained considerable market share and become an emerging investment option. Compared with natural diamonds, lab diamonds have the advantages of lower price and stable supply. This article analyzes whether lab diamonds are a good investment from several perspectives.
Lab diamonds have achieved rapid growth
According to the reference articles, lab diamonds entered the market in the 1980s, but only accounted for a few percentage points of the market share before 2018. However, in recent years, more and more lab-grown diamonds have entered the market. By now, the market share of lab diamonds has risen to about 10%. The rapid growth shows that lab diamonds have been recognized by more consumers.
Price advantage increases investment value
The price of lab diamonds is only 20%-30% of natural diamonds now. The rapid increase in production capacity will further expand the price gap between lab diamonds and natural diamonds. The considerable price difference provides room for price rises in the future, which can generate returns for investors.
Stable supply supports investment demand
Unlike natural diamonds largely controlled by the De Beers cartel, the supply of lab diamonds is in a competitive market. Multiple lab diamond manufacturers lead to adequate production capacity to meet investment needs. The stable supply can better satisfy investors’ demand.
In summary, the rapid growth, price advantage and stable supply make lab diamonds an emerging investment option. Lab diamonds have investment value and are likely to generate considerable returns in the long term.
