專題報道 JNA Sep/Oct 2021 | 15 Retail rebound China’s jewellery retail market is on the road to recovery as well, with diamond jewellery playing a significant role in the rebound. Jewellery retail sales from January to July 2021 for a key sample of jewellers with annual sales over RMB5 million (US$775,000) amounted to RMB173 billion (around US$26.8 billion), a nearly 53 per cent year- on-year increase, data from China’s National Statistics Bureau showed. According to Bain’s Global Diamond Industry 2021 report, China’s diamond retail market is estimated to have declined by 6 per cent in 2020. It is however expected to recover more rapidly than other parts of the world. In the fourth quarter of 2020, it grew 15 per cent to 20 per cent, compared to the same period in 2019. While plain gold jewellery remains the bestselling category in China, diamond jewellery is steadily gaining ground, another study revealed. The 2020 China Jewellery Industry Development Report by the Foundation of the Gems & Jewelry Trade Association of China (GAC) indicated that total jewellery retail sales in China last year came up to approximately RMB610 billion (US$88.44 billion). Plain gold jewellery accounted for 55.7 per cent of sales, followed by jadeite jewellery with a 14.8 per cent market share and diamond jewellery with 13.1 per cent. These three categories combined made up more than 80 per cent of China’s jewellery retail sales, the GAC report revealed.
