During 2010 and 2011 local diamond companies have been recovering from one of the worst depressions in the global diamond sector due to the severe economic crisis in global markets that erupted in September 2008. The diamond sector experienced almost an entire freeze and collapse in sales of about 70% in the peak of the crisis and 2009 export diamonds shrank by some 40%. Only since mid 2009 a mild recovery has been felt and continued throughout 2010, into 2011. In 2011 first half, a significant improvement was recorded, 40% higher than 2010 first half.

According to the President of the Israeli Diamonds Association, local diamond sector in general managed to cross the crisis, despite the sheer difficulties, including the fact that local banks contracted credit given to local diamond firms. The President said that trade in the sector rolls annual turnover of US$ 25 billion while total debt to the banks stands on US$ 1.5 billion, down from US$ 2.4 billion in the eve of the crisis. The Ministry for Industry & Trade also assisted the local diamond exporters by providing bank guarantees in total scope of NIS 1 billion.

 

Overall in 2010, export (net) of polished diamonds was US$ 5,832 million, representing 48% increase from 2009 (when it noted 37% decrease from 2008, also much less than 2007, a record year in polished diamonds export, with sales of US$ 7,076 million). In karat terms, net export of polished diamonds rose by 32%. Rough diamonds export (net) reached US$ 3,060 million, 62% up from 2009 and 36% increase in karat terms.

 

In the 1st half of 2011, 34% increase was noted comparing to the parallel period in 2010 with net export of polished diamonds of US$3,400 million. Export of rough diamonds also climbed almost 40%, reaching US$ 2,250 million.

 

 

 

Import of rough diamonds (net) in 2010 grew by 51% to US$ 3,755 million (30% rise in karat terms) compared with 2009, and by 36.7% in 2011 1st half (compared to 2010), summing up to US$2,500 million. Import of polished diamonds (net) saw 68% rise in 2010 reaching US$ 4,218 million (39% rise in karat terms), and almost 50% rise  in 2011 1st half (US$ 2,800 million).

 

In terms of target export (polished diamonds) countries, overall in 2010 the USA returned to be main destination, with 41% of total export (48% in 2011 1st half). This comes after earlier in 2010, for the first time Far East markets became Israel’s diamond industry’s main target, with sales to Hong Kong being close to these of the USA, to whom sales decreased dramatically in view of the severe economic crisis (traditionally sales to the USA comprised some 60%-65% of total export). In 2010 and early 2011, export to Hong Kong comprised around 26% of sales. Other main target countries include Belgium, India, Switzerland and China.

 

In February 2009, Israel was ranked as the world’s largest exporter of cut diamonds, followed by India, Belgium and South Africa.
