Leading exporting countries of gold, silverware, and jewelry worldwide in 2025

(in million U.S. dollars)

Thu Apr 30 2026

Global exports of gold and precious metal products are heavily concentrated among a small group of countries, with the United Kingdom and the United States leading by a wide margin. In 2025, the United Kingdom exported gold and related products worth approximately 126.6 billion U.S. dollars, followed by the United States with around 92.9 billion U.S. dollars. Australia and Canada ranked next, each exporting close to 39 billion U.S. dollars.

 European and Asian countries also play a considerable role in the global market. Italy and Japan recorded export values exceeding 25 billion U.S. dollars, reflecting their strong positions in both precious metals trading and jewelry manufacturing. Meanwhile, emerging exporters such as Indonesia and Egypt contributed notable volumes, although at considerably lower levels compared to the leading countries.

The structure of exports highlights the dual nature of the market: while resource-rich countries like Australia and South Africa are key suppliers of raw gold, financial hubs such as the United Kingdom and the United States dominate due to their role in global bullion trading and re-exports.

Overall, the market is characterized by high concentration and strong links to both commodity production and international financial centers.
