금 시장 예측(-2030년) : 유형, 형상, 유통 채널, 캐럿, 용도, 지역별 세계 분석

According to Stratistics MRC, the Global Gold Market is growing at a CAGR of 9.38% during the forecast period. Gold is a precious metal known for its lustrous yellow appearance, high malleability, and resistance to corrosion. Gold has been valued for millennia as a medium of exchange, a symbol of wealth, and a key material in jewellery, technology, and industrial applications. Its rarity, durability, and conductivity make it indispensable in electronics and aerospace. Additionally, gold is a safe-haven asset, widely used in investments and held by central banks as reserves.

Market Dynamics:

Driver:

Rising Demand in Jewelry

A mix of demographic, economic, and cultural factors is driving the growing demand for jewellery in the gold market. Gold has great cultural and ceremonial significance in places like China and India, especially during religious rites, festivals, and weddings. In these nations, rising urbanization and disposable affluence have increased the accessibility and allure of gold jewellery. Additionally, younger clients are discovering gold to be more appealing due to shifting fashion trends and advancements in jewellery design. Gold's standing as a symbol of wealth and prestige is further enhanced by international marketing initiatives by luxury firms. This area of the gold market consistently grows as a result of seasonal and festive demand spikes.

Restraint:

Speculation and manipulation in gold trading

The stability of the gold market and investor confidence are greatly impacted by speculation and manipulation in gold trading. Large institutional investors and hedge funds are among the many speculators who frequently affect gold prices by taking advantage of market and economic movements in order to make money. Volatility can occasionally result from coordinated acts that intentionally raise or deflate prices, such as spoofing or producing false market signals. Gold trade is vulnerable to such tactics due to regulatory weaknesses and its decentralized structure. Both retail and institutional participants are impacted by manipulation, which damages investor trust and interferes with fair price discovery.

Opportunity:

Expansion of digital gold platforms

The growth of digital gold platforms is transforming the gold market by increasing its accessibility and appeal to a wider range of consumers. These services remove the need for physical ownership by enabling users to easily and affordably buy, sell, and store fractional gold online. Adoption has been fuelled by the rise of fintech and smartphone penetration, especially among younger, tech-savvy consumers in both urban and rural locations. User convenience and confidence have increased due to features including transparency, real-time transactions, and connectivity with investment apps. Additionally, collaborations with e-commerce sites and financial institutions have expanded the reach of digital gold.

Threat:

Limited industrial demand

The high price of the metal and the availability of less expensive substitutes result in low industrial demand in the gold market. Although gold is useful in electronics, medical devices, and aerospace due to its exceptional conductivity and resistance to corrosion, its high cost prevents broad use in these sectors. For applications where cost is a concern, substitutes like copper and silver are frequently chosen. Technological developments also constantly aim to reduce the amount of gold used without sacrificing functionality. Gold mining's industrial adoption is further limited by ethical and environmental issues. Due to the dominance of jewellery and investment demand, industrial demand continues to represent a very modest portion of the total gold market.

Covid-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the gold market, driving prices to record highs as investors sought safe-haven assets amidst global economic uncertainty. Disruptions in mining, refining, and supply chains temporarily constrained gold production. However, increased investment demand, fueled by inflation fears and volatile stock markets, offset these challenges. Central bank policies and stimulus measures further supported gold's appeal. Meanwhile, reduced consumer spending on jewellery, especially in key markets like India and China, led to a temporary decline in physical gold demand.

The digital gold segment is expected to be the largest during the forecast period

The digital gold segment is estimated to be the largest, driven by increasing smartphone usage, the rise of fintech solutions, and the growing preference for online investment platforms. Digital gold provides accessibility, allowing users to invest in fractional gold without the need for physical storage, appealing to smaller investors. Low entry barriers, real-time transactions, and enhanced transparency have made it a popular choice among millennials and tech-savvy individuals. Additionally, the convenience of integrating digital gold with other investment portfolios further accelerates its adoption globally.

The industrial applications segment is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period

The industrial applications segment is anticipated to witness the highest CAGR during the forecast period, due to its excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and malleability. It is widely used in electronics for manufacturing connectors, switches, and circuit boards. In the medical field, gold is used in dental work, medical implants, and diagnostic equipment. Aerospace and defense industries also rely on gold for its ability to withstand harsh conditions and its reflective properties in satellites. Additionally, gold is utilized in renewable energy technologies and high-precision instruments, further enhancing its industrial significance.

Region with largest share:

Asia Pacific is expected to have the largest market share during the forecast period due to strong cultural affinity for gold, particularly in countries like India and China, where gold is integral to weddings, festivals, and wealth preservation. Rising disposable incomes, urbanization, and growing middle-class populations in these countries boost demand for gold jewellery and investment. Additionally, gold is seen as a hedge against inflation and economic instability, which further attracts investors. The expanding digital gold platforms and increasing retail investment also contribute to the region's growing gold market.

Region with highest CAGR:

During the forecast period, the North America region is anticipated to register the highest CAGR, owing to economic uncertainty, inflation concerns, and the growing demand for safe-haven assets. As a hedge against market volatility, gold attracts investors, especially during periods of geopolitical instability or financial crises. Additionally, the strong presence of gold mining companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the region facilitates market accessibility. The rising popularity of digital gold platforms and increasing awareness of gold's investment potential also contribute to the region's demand for the precious metal.
