What are the market dynamics in the global gold mining market?
Global gold consumption rebounded strongly in 2021 primarily driven by jewelry demand, with the ongoing economic recovery following the COVID-19 epidemic. China and India are the world’s two largest consumers of gold jewelry. The revival of the Chinese and Indian economies was the primary driver for rising jewelry demand. Furthermore, gold demand in 2021 was supported by lower and more stable gold prices, increased personal income, and the Indian wedding season. While the COVID-19 vaccination rollout, increased consumer sentiment as well as strong household savings supported gold jewelry purchases in the US, increased gifting demand during the holiday season boosted jewelry consumption in Europe.
Global gold consumption is expected to rise in 2022 and 2023. Growth will be supported by the rise in demand from the jewelry sector, with China’s jewelry consumption likely to stay strong, amid improving consumer sentiment and income. In addition, to attract young Chinese clients, Chinese jewelry shops are increasingly utilizing private and social media channels. Jewelry demand in the US is predicted to be lower than in 2021, as consumer spending shifts to leisure activities post-COVID19.
