The Moissanite market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of 5.29% over the forecast period to reach US$202.505 million by 2030, increasing from US$156.118 million in 2025.
Moissanite is a mineral made of silicon carbide. It can be naturally occurring or laboratory-grown. It often occurs in nature in extremely rare conditions in upper mantle rock and meteorites. Moissanite can also occur naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite.
The major driving factor behind the demand for Moissanite is its replacement for diamond. It has very similar properties to diamond, but is a lot cheaper. It has both brilliance (white flashes) and fire (colored flashes) that are found in the diamond, but it has more fire than the diamond. This makes it difficult to differentiate between the two. It is as resistant to scratches as diamonds.
Furthermore, the toughness and durability of this gem allow for consistent brightness over time, which is another factor contributing to the market's revenue growth during the forecast period. The toughness level of Moissanite in terms of pounds per square inch (PSI) for a diamond is 14.6 PSI, and for Moissanite, 7.6 PSI, which is quite significant. These factors led to the demand for Moissanite compared to diamonds.
Color is one of the notable features of Moissanite. It is recognizable by a variety of colors, from colorless to near-colorless variants. Some of the variants can have a slight yellow or gray hue. The fashion industry is choosing Moissanite for its various variants and aesthetic appeal. This has created a trend in demand for Moissanite products, which could open up opportunities for more innovation and the production of new designs. Moreover, high-quality Moissanite stones are typically colorless and closely resemble diamonds.
By geography, the market is segmented into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific. The major economies like China, Japan, India, and South Korea dominate the Asia-Pacific region. Some of the fastest-growing emerging economies are from this region, such as the ASEAN countries.
India’s gems and jewelry industry is one of the largest in the world, contributing 4.3% of global jewellery consumption in 2022. India’s gems and jewelry exports are expected to reach US$100 billion by 2027. Globally, India was the top exporter of diamonds. Further, the growing economy of China and its expanding disposable income among consumers are likely to increase the domestic demand for gems and jewelry in the forecast period.
The Moissanite market is segmented by application into earrings, rings, pendants, and bracelets. Rings would show a significant market share due to their demand during marriages and engagements. The offering of earrings, pendants, and bracelets would also show growth in the growing economies as disposable income is rising in those countries.
