It is projected to increase from $86.42 billion in 2025 to $97.72 billion in 2026, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.1%. The historic period’s growth can be attributed to central bank gold reserve accumulation, the use of gold as an inflation hedge, historical currency volatility, long-standing investor trust in gold, and the global precious metal trading infrastructure.

Its valuation is anticipated to reach $159.41 billion by 2030, demonstrating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 13.0%. This projected growth during the forecast period is driven by factors such as escalating geopolitical instability, a heightened need for safe-haven investments, the proliferation of digital investment platforms, greater involvement of retail investors in bullion, and various portfolio diversification approaches. Key trends expected over the forecast horizon encompass a rise in institutional investment in physical gold, a surge in the need for protected bullion storage, a developing preference for high-purity minted bars, the expansion of digital platforms for gold trading, and an increased emphasis on tracking the gold supply chain.

Gold Bullion Market Growth Drivers: What’s Behind The Acceleration?
The increasing demand for jewelry is anticipated to propel the growth of the gold bullion market going forward. Jewelry encompasses decorative items worn for personal adornment, frequently fashioned from precious metals such as gold. The rise in jewelry demand stems from a growing consumer preference for luxury goods and investments in high-value assets. Gold bullion serves as a high-quality, pure gold source, ideal for crafting durable and attractive jewelry due to its intrinsic value and malleability. For instance, in January 2024, according to data published by the World Gold Council, a UK-based international trade organization for the gold industry, global demand for gold jewelry was 2,089 metric tons in 2022 and increased to 2,093 metric tons in 2023. This surge resulted in an 8% growth in value, reaching a record US$131 billion. Therefore, the expanding jewelry demand is driving the growth of the gold bullion market.
