Core Viewpoint - The diamond market, previously dominated by Western countries, is experiencing a significant shift with the rise of diamond production in Zhecheng, Henan, where overseas orders have surged tenfold, leading to unprecedented production demands [1][5]. Group 1: Order Surge - Zhecheng's diamond manufacturers typically enter a production halt during late December for the New Year, but this year, global orders have dramatically increased, leading to a tenfold rise in overseas orders, exceeding all manufacturers' expectations [3][5]. - Leading domestic high-end diamond brand Zheguang is a major beneficiary of this order surge, with production lines operating at full capacity and personalized service timelines extending to one month due to increased demand [5][10]. - Local manufacturers are facing pressure to meet order demands, shifting from a two-shift to a three-shift production model to ensure continuous operation and timely delivery [5][8]. Group 2: Underlying Factors - The surge in overseas orders is attributed to Zhecheng's strong technical capabilities and favorable market conditions, positioning it as "China's Diamond Capital" and the largest cultivated diamond production base globally [10][14]. - Zhecheng's leading enterprise, Lili Diamond, has achieved significant technological breakthroughs, including the production of a 156.47-carat diamond, recognized as the largest known synthetic diamond crystal, enhancing its global standing [12][14]. - The global diamond market is experiencing a supply-demand shift, with natural diamond supply declining by over 40% from early 21st-century peaks, leading consumers to favor Zhecheng's cultivated diamonds for their cost-effectiveness and quality [14][16]. Group 3: Industry Development - Zhecheng's complete industrial chain, comprising 223 superhard material enterprises, supports its ability to handle large overseas orders, with diamond powder production accounting for 90% of national output [16][22]. - The increase in orders is driving overall upgrades in the local diamond industry, enhancing the global presence of Zhecheng's diamonds and injecting new momentum into domestic diamond industry development [18][22]. - The rise in demand is also boosting local employment and related industries, creating a positive ecosystem that supports packaging, logistics, and raw material supply, thereby strengthening Zhecheng's position in the global diamond market [22].
