Figures from Thomson Reuters GFMS show that in 2005 about 93% of the total demand for gold was accounted for by jewellery. Jewellery still has the largest market share in the global gold market, but the share has fallen over the last 10 years and has hovered around 50%. Figures from the World Gold Council also show that the Central Banks bought a lot of gold in 2022, namely 1,081 tonnes. Compared to only 79.2 tonnes in 2010.
