Report Description

The market for CVD diamond has been covered under the scope of this report. CVD diamonds can be best described as manmade diamonds prepared through the CVD method. They are often referred to as synthetic diamonds or lab-grown diamonds. The global market has been segmented on the basis of type, product, application, and region. It also provides a cross sectional study of the market across broad regional segments such as North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific (APAC), Middle-East & Africa (MEA) and South America under its scope. The market is primarily being driven by the rising demand of CVD diamond, as a gem, in the jewellery industry. Additionally, the CVD diamond manufacturing process has significantly lower environmental impact, when compared to mining of diamonds. Also, CVD diamonds cost almost one third less than a natural diamond of same carats. Furthermore, CVD diamond offers superior performance at lower cost, for industrial applications.
