Global Gold Demand Hits Record as Investment Share Rises in India and Worldwide

Global gold demand reached a record 5,000 metric tonnes in CY25, driven by a surge in investment demand through ETFs and bar-and-coin buying amid geopolitical uncertainty and diversification needs. In India, the investment share of gold consumption rose to 42% in CY25 from 29% in CY24, reflecting a structural shift away from jewellery, whose share fell below 60%. Despite higher prices, Indian jewellery demand remained resilient, growing about 10% in value. This trend is expected to continue, with investment demand projected to reach 35-40% by FY27.
