Top Importers of Jewellery of Precious Metal

The top importers of jewellery made from precious metals in 2023 were Hong Kong, the United States, and Switzerland, with import values of USD 11.36 billion, 9.06 billion, and 8.9 billion, respectively. Year-on-year, Hong Kong saw a significant increase in jewellery imports, driven by strong local demand and regional trade activities, whereas the United States experienced modest growth. Switzerland maintained a steady import level, reflecting its role as a major hub for luxury goods.

The CAGR over the past five years indicates that Hong Kong has been the most dynamic market, with imports growing considerably, while mature markets like the Netherlands have shown slower growth.

Looking ahead, future trends to watch include the impact of digital transformation in the jewellery market, increasing consumer preference for sustainable and ethically produced jewellery, and the potential effects of global economic fluctuations on luxury goods consumption. Emerging markets may also play a larger role in the global jewellery trade in the coming years.
