This article previews the 72nd Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, highlighting strong industry momentum with projected attendance of 40,000+ visitors and over $100 million in trade value.
The 72nd Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair is scheduled from September 9-13, 2025, at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Center. Thailand’s Ministry of Commerce will host the event, with organizers expecting to attract over 40,000 visitors and project over $100 million in trade value from the five-day event.
The fair, organized by the Department of International Trade Promotion (DITP) and co-organized by the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (GIT), will span all eight halls of QSNCC with 1,104 participating companies across 2,628 booths.
The fair comes amid robust growth for Thailand’s gems and jewelry sector. Excluding unwrought gold, exports reached $9.6 billion in 2024, up 11.5% year-on-year. The sector has maintained strong momentum in 2025, with first-half exports surging 63% to $7.4 billion.
Key export products include gold jewelry, silver jewelry, and colored gemstones, with primary markets being India, Hong Kong, and the United States. Full-year 2025 export growth is projected to exceed the government’s 5% target.
Despite expanding booth space to over 2,600 units since the 71st edition, organizers report a waiting list for participation.
The 72nd edition will feature marketing and technical seminars, networking receptions, and an exhibition of Thai jewelry. The World Gold Council, in collaboration with GIT and the Gold Traders Association of Thailand, will host the ‘Thailand Gold Forum’ during the event to facilitate global knowledge exchange.
The Bangkok Gems & Jewelry Fair, held twice annually, serves as a key platform for international trade negotiations and partnership building, reinforcing Thailand’s position as a leading global hub for gems and jewelry commerce.
