This statistic represents the historical production of diamonds worldwide from Antiquity to 2013. Between 1994 and 2013, 2.7 billion carats of diamonds were produced. Thus, during this short period, more diamonds were extracted than in the previous 1,993 years. Unlike other precious metals and natural resources, the diamond industry relies almost exclusively on consumer demand for diamond jewelry. The diamond industry is expected to thrive despite weak global economic growth.
