ALMANDINE GARNET MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global almandine garnet market size was USD 0.29 billion in 2023 and the market is projected to touch USD 0.47 billion in 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period.

This gemstone is becoming popular across the world in many sectors and has also advanced in its usefulness, from jewellery items to industrial purposes, thus making the almandine garnet market conspicuous. A specific variety of garnet is almandine, which is characterized by its deep red to brownish-red colour, which is exceptionally brilliant and very hardwearing. It can be used not only for decorations but also for abrasive materials and filter elements; all this contributes to the growth of its market. Newer technology in extraction and increased consumer demand, especially in the luxury segment and the industrial sector in the Asia-Pacific region, are the new trends in the market for Almandine Garnet. This trend also depicts how people have embraced gems and talent due to their beauty and harshness, which are similar to talent.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Market Growth Restrained During Pandemic Due to Supply Disruptions 

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The interruption of the pandemic led to a drastic change in the Almandine Garnet market because of the closing of supply chain networks or stores and a reduction in consumer demand. Measures aimed at combating the COVID-19 pandemic slowed down mining and production processes, whereas the declining economic activity diminished the demand for such non-essential stones as garnets. The market was under pressure as the fate of retail endpoints was sealed and/or discretionary spending was cut to the bone, which gave a view of how the gem industry can be sensitive to global economic conditions.

LATEST TRENDS

Market growth is driven by ethical sourcing

The new direction that may be observed in the Almandine Garnet market is the focus on the topics of the ethical origin of the stones. Demand and awareness among consumers as well as companies in the supply chain have brought about a shift towards the enhancement of traceability towards the environment, inspiring more and more movements to be put in place, especially that of responsible mining. This trend is growing as both jewellers and industrial users opt to align a sustainability agenda with sustainability goals, ensuring that they have traceability and decreasing the ethical issues connected with garnet mining. Better certificate procedures and customer-friendly mining techniques are emerging as the core of the market.

ALMANDINE GARNET MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on type the market can be categorized into Water Jet Grade & Blasting Grade.

• Water Jet Grade: Water Jet Grade Almandine Garnet is used mainly as an abrasive material used in water jet cutting because of its angular hardness. It can be used to optimize the separation of specifically targeted materials, such as metal and stones. As evident in the changing market demands, this grade is widely demanded by manufacturing industries as they modify their technologies in line with sophisticated cutting needs.

• Blasting Grade: Another type of garnet abrasive blasting grade Almandine garnet is used in abrasive blasting for surface preparation and cleaning. It is widely applied in processes like aerospace and shipbuilding, where there is a need to employ a solvent that can clean up the surfaces by stripping off any contaminants or coatings. The market for this grade is determined by the overall growth of industries and the growing demand for reinforced abrasives.

By Application

Based on application the market can be categorized into Water Jet Cutting, Abrasive Blasting, Water Filtration & Abrasive Powders

• Water Jet Cutting: Almandine Garnet is the most suitable abrasive in water jet cutting since it increases precision and efficiency in that cutting process because of its hardness and angularity. Precisely, it should be able to trim through most hard materials, such as metals and stones, without much waste. Another reason for this grade’s utilization is an increasing need for applications that require superior accuracy while cutting materials in numerous industries.

• Abrasive Blasting: While in abrasive blasting, the value of Almandine Garnet is in its hardness, which enables it to clean and prepare surfaces. It has different purposes and is applied in areas such as metal surface treatment and paint stripping. This application segment’s demand can be attributed to industrial development along with the requirement for superior blasting media.

• Water Filtration: Almandine garnet is used in the purification of water since it acts like a filter that can help in trapping so many particles and other materials that are present in the water. Their shape as well as rigidity offer optimal filtration and durability for the product. The growth of the water treatment sector and awareness of the need for clean water have increased the demand for this application.

• Abrasive Powders: It is also employed in abrasive powders for grinding and polishing since it is hard and sharp. It offers better performance in processes using fine abrasives, as in automobiles and mostly in the metal processing industries. Abrasive powders find application in the finishing industry, and their market is favoured by industrial improvements and higher accuracy requirements.

DRIVING FACTORS

Market growth is driven by fine jewellery demand

The rising trend of using almandine garnet in fine jewellery is another factor that will positively affect the market. Due to its propensity for red and high density, it is widely used in the production of rings, necklaces, and earrings, among others. The growing interest of consumers tends to increase demand and the dynamism of the Global Almandine Garnet market Growth.

Market growth is fuelled by industrial abrasive use

The next is the application of aluminium garnet as an abrasive material in industries, which is a significant factor. This is due to the lending properties of this material in the use of cutting and grinding processes in the production and construction industries. In the various industries, these products help to expand, thus enabling the market to develop.

RESTRAINING FACTOR

Fluctuating raw material prices hinder market growth for aluminium garnet

There is a major threat in the form of fluctuating price trends of raw materials, which is one of the key factors that restricts the growth of the aluminium-garnet market. During the mining and processing of garnets, costs may move in the wrong direction and greatly affect the stability of the price per garnet, thereby affecting the stability of many businesses as they struggle to plan for costs that might shoot up.
