The world of gems and jewellery is sparkling with potential. The Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok 2025 (JGAB 2025) is set to illuminate this vibrant industry from April 23-26, 2025, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center in Bangkok. This event is not just a trade show; it’s a beacon for the ASEAN jewellery market, connecting local artisans with global buyers.

Southeast Asia is a treasure trove of gems. Countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam are witnessing a surge in demand for luxury goods. The expanding middle class is hungry for opulence. Lab-grown diamonds are also making waves, adding a modern twist to traditional jewellery. According to the IMARC Group, the Southeast Asian jewellery market was valued at USD 9.09 billion last year. By 2033, it’s projected to reach USD 12.42 billion, growing at a steady rate of 3.35% annually.

This growth is not just numbers; it’s a story of craftsmanship and creativity. Thai jewellery designers are at the forefront, weaving their cultural heritage into stunning pieces. The export value of gems and jewellery, excluding unwrought gold, hit USD 9.6 billion last year, a remarkable 10.9% increase from the previous year. This is a golden opportunity for international buyers to forge partnerships with ASEAN suppliers.

JGAB 2025 stands as a testament to this burgeoning industry. Organized by Informa Markets, a trusted name in B2B trade shows, JGAB promises an unparalleled experience for exhibitors and visitors alike. The theme, "Connecting the World with ASEAN's Jewellery Excellence," encapsulates the event's mission. It aims to showcase the best of ASEAN’s gems and jewellery, highlighting the region's rich diversity.

The event will feature an ASEAN Pavilion, spotlighting top entrepreneurs and suppliers. It will also host the inaugural Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Summit, bringing together over 150 experts from various countries, including Japan, South Korea, and Australia. This summit is a melting pot of ideas, fostering collaboration between ASEAN and the global jewellery community.

Expect over 400 exhibitors from 15 countries, covering 17,000 square meters of exhibition space. Product zones will include Fine Jewellery, Gemstones, Lab-Grown Diamonds, and more. Each zone is a window into the creativity and innovation that defines the ASEAN jewellery market.

But JGAB 2025 is more than just an exhibition. It’s a hub for knowledge exchange. Attendees can participate in marketing seminars, jewellery-making workshops, and the Next Gem Contest 2025, a competition for emerging designers. This contest aims to elevate Thai identity in jewellery design, showcasing the unique flair of local artisans.

Business matching opportunities will be a key feature, connecting ASEAN entrepreneurs with international buyers. This is crucial for expanding networks and fostering new business relationships. The event will also include networking receptions, enhancing confidence among participants and paving the way for future collaborations.

The timing of JGAB 2025 is significant. As the global market for luxury goods continues to evolve, ASEAN's jewellery industry is poised to capture a larger share. The allure of gemstones from this region is undeniable. Sapphires, jade, and rubies are not just beautiful; they carry stories of culture and tradition.

Moreover, the rise of lab-grown diamonds is reshaping consumer preferences. These diamonds offer ethical and sustainable options, appealing to a new generation of buyers. The growing acceptance of lab-grown stones is injecting fresh energy into the market, making it more dynamic and accessible.

The ASEAN jewellery market is a tapestry of tradition and innovation. It’s a place where ancient techniques meet modern design. As the world becomes more interconnected, the potential for growth is immense. JGAB 2025 is not just an event; it’s a launchpad for the future of the jewellery industry in Southeast Asia.

In conclusion, the Jewellery & Gem ASEAN Bangkok 2025 is a pivotal moment for the ASEAN jewellery market. It’s a chance to shine on the global stage, to showcase the richness of the region’s gems and the creativity of its artisans. As the event approaches, excitement builds. The world will be watching as ASEAN’s jewellery industry takes center stage, ready to dazzle and inspire.

For those interested in attending, pre-registration is available for free admission. This is an opportunity not to be missed. The future of ASEAN’s jewellery market is bright, and JGAB 2025 is where it all begins.

In a world where luxury meets sustainability, ASEAN's gems are ready to sparkle. The stage is set, and the audience awaits. Will you be part of this glittering journey?
