thebalanced.newsGlobal Gold Demand Hits Record as Investment Share Rises in India
Global gold demand reached a record 5,000 metric tonnes in 2025, driven by rising investment through ETFs and bar-and-coin purchases amid geopolitical uncertainty and diversification needs. In India, the investment share of gold consumption rose to 42% in 2025 from 29% in 2024, while jewellery's share declined below 60%, reflecting a structural shift in buying patterns. Despite higher prices, Indian jewellery demand remained resilient, with growth expected to continue alongside increased investment demand projected at 35-40% by fiscal year 2027.
