Diamond Mining Market Dynamics

Russia was the world’s largest producer in 2022. However, the diamond industry was impacted by ongoing regional political tensions and international sanctions imposed on certain Russian mining companies. Following the invasion of Ukraine by Russia, the US and, more recently, the UK imposed sanctions on Alrosa and banned diamond imports from the country. These sanctions prevent the company from obtaining financing and, as a result, from making payments through sanctioned banks. Along with ongoing economic pressures, a lack of new capacity additions will have an impact on Russia’s diamond production over the forecast period. Additionally,

major discoveries in Russia, Botswana and South Africa has resulted in an increase in global reserves in the recent years.

However, with ongoing economic uncertainty in the US, such as inflation, and rising COVID cases in China, demand for polished diamonds in 2023 is expected to be lower than in 2022.
