Abstract
This report focuses on the study of the global diamond markets. It provides
region analysis on diamond production. It features major diamond producers,
prices, supply and demand conditions, international trade, etc. The review
also includes future outlook of the world diamond market.
Diamond is the
hardest known material and has the highest thermal conductivity of any
ma-terial at room temperature. Diamond is more than twice as hard as its
nearest competitors, cubic boron nitride and silicon nitride. Because it is
the hardest substance known, diamond has been used for centuries as an
abrasive in cutting, drilling, grinding, and polishing. Industrial-grade
diamond continues to be used as an abrasive for many applications.
