Industry Leadership and Export Growth
Ms. Sunanta Kangvalkulkij, Director-General of the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP), the organizer, Chair of the press conference, stated: “Over the past 40 years, the Bangkok Gems and Jewelry Fair has served as a key driving force for the industry. It has played a vital role in connecting buyers and sellers from around the world, creating business opportunities and trade partnerships, enhancing the international reputation of Thai products, and continuously promoting exports. Today, Thailand has achieved its goal of becoming one of the world’s leading hubs for the gems and jewelry trade. Bangkok Gems has also significantly contributed to the export growth of Thailand’s gems and jewelry sector (excluding unwrought gold). During the first 11 months of 2025, after deducting re-export values, exports in this category reached 12,124 billion USD, representing a growth of over 53 percent.”
Global Recognition and Fair Expansion
She added, “Bangkok Gems has experienced remarkable growth in terms of exhibitor numbers, visitor attendance, and trade value. The fair is now recognized as one of the world’s four most important gems and jewelry trade fairs and is the largest global marketplace for colored gemstones. To accommodate strong demand from both Thai and international exhibitors, the organizers have expanded the exhibition area to include the Plenary Hall on Level 1, allowing the 73rd edition to host more than 200 additional booths. This further reinforces Thailand’s position as a global gems and jewelry trading hub. The event will feature more than 1,300 companies and over 2,800 booths from more than 20 countries. Organizers expect it to attract over 45,000 visitors and generate trade value exceeding USD 150 million.”

These strengths have earned the trust of leading global jewelry brands, which continue to choose Thailand as a production base.
