Hong Kong’s jewellery exports experienced robust growth in 2025 on the back of a strong recovery in demand for luxury goods.
According to government data, exports of jewellery, goldsmiths’ and silversmiths’ wares reached HK$21.55 billion (around US$2.76 billion) in December 2025, a year-on-year increase of 30.4 per cent compared to December 2024.
For the full year of 2025, jewellery exports totalled HK$259.16 billion (approximately US$33.2 billion), representing an 11.4 per cent rise from 2024. This growth underscores the resilience of Hong Kong’s jewellery sector amid global economic recovery and increased consumer spending on high-value goods.
Imports of jewellery also saw notable growth. In December 2025, imports reached HK$32.34 billion (about US$4.14 billion), up 41 per cent from December 2024. For the entire year, imports hit HK$340.2 billion (around US$43.6 billion), 9.5 per cent higher than 2024 figures.
Overall merchandise exports rose 26.1 per cent in December 2025, contributing to a record-high annual export value of HK$5.24 trillion (approximately US$672 billion), a 15.4 per cent increase year on year.
The government said growth was driven by strong exports to mainland China, Southeast Asia and the US while exports to the European Union saw a slight decline.
Hong Kong expects sustained growth in merchandise trade, supported by global economic expansion, enhanced trade ties and rising demand for AI-enabled electronic products to support exports.
