The global specialty product market size is expected to reach $8.06 billion in 2027 at a CAGR of 8.46%.
The addition of precious rare elements like diamonds, sapphires, gold, and rubies is expected to propel the growth of the speciality products market. Precious rare elements refer to precious and semi-precious gemstones, such as diamonds, rubies, sapphires, and emeralds. Gemstones are minerals, rocks, or organic materials cut from naturally occurring crystals that are polished or carved into jewellery or other wearable accessories for humans for their appeal, toughness, and rarity. Diamonds, sapphires, gold, and rubies are now considered status symbols and are used to create jewellery, ornaments, bracelets, and unique rings, such as engagement rings. For instance, in January 2021, according to Alrosa, a Russia-based diamond mining company, a total of $4,169 million worth of raw and polished diamonds was sold in 2021, divided into $3,977 million from rough diamond sales and $192 million from polished diamond sales. Therefore, the addition of precious rare elements like diamonds, sapphires, gold, and rubies is driving the growth of the speciality products market.
