The forecast for Brazil's import of worked, but not set, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds between 2024 and 2028 shows a gradual decline, from 28.84 kilograms in 2024 to 27.9 kilograms in 2028. This indicates a year-on-year decrease, with an average annual contraction rate of approximately 0.82% projected over these five years. Unfortunately, the data for 2023 was not provided, preventing a comparison with the actual import volume of that year.
Future trends to watch for include changes in consumer demand for gemstones, fluctuations in global gemstone prices, and potential regulatory impacts on gemstone trade. Additionally, any advancements in gemstone synthetic alternatives could influence natural gemstone imports significantly.
