The Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) segment held the highest share of lab grown diamond market revenue in 2022, accounting for more than 50% of total revenue. CVD technology — developed in the 1980s and continuously refined — offers lower production costs, reduced equipment footprint, and exceptional control over diamond purity and size. The CVD method is projected to maintain its leadership throughout the forecast period. The HPHT segment, while second in revenue share, is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR of 9.8% through 2032, as it produces diamonds chemically identical to naturally mined stones — a quality increasingly valued by premium jewelry buyers and industrial applications alike.

By Size — Below 2 Carat Dominates

The below 2 carat segment accounted for more than two-thirds of global lab grown diamond market revenue in 2022. Diamonds in this range are the most widely used for jewelry production — particularly engagement rings, wedding bands, earrings, and necklaces — as well as industrial tooling applications. The same segment is expected to register the fastest CAGR of 10.2% through 2032, driven by sustained consumer demand for accessible luxury jewelry incorporating lab grown diamonds.
