With the improvement of people's living standards in China, people pay more and more attention to investment and financial management, and the direction is gradually turning to collectibles. Emerald is more and more loved and recognized by collectors for its superior characteristics in a dazzling collection. Xinjiang, as the origin of Hetian jade raw materials and a large-scale wholesale trading center in China, has been expanding with the increasing demand for jade, but now it is in short supply, especially the high-grade Hetian jade is extremely scarce and hard to find a stone, which has led to a leap-forward increase in the price of high-grade Hetian jade in recent years. Many jade artworks with cultural taste and investment value are increasingly sought after by collectors.

With the rapid development of the industry, the gem industry in Xinjiang has developed to a considerable scale. The main body of the market consists of large, medium and small enterprises and scattered self-employed. Large enterprises dominate the market and small and medium-sized enterprises support the whole market. The jade market in Xinjiang is divided into three parts: south, north and east, centering on Urumqi. Hotan, Kashgar, Korla and Aksu are represented in the south, Yining, Kuitun, Shihezi and Karamay are represented in the north, and Turpan and Hami are represented in the east. Hotan, Kashgar and Turpan are the main sales targets, and Hotan is the main raw material trade base.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, there are currently more than 3,500 enterprises operating Hetian jade in Xinjiang, most of which are small enterprises or jade shops, most of which are family-owned enterprises, and there are about 20 enterprises with strength, scale and standardized management. In addition, some new large-scale comprehensive Hetian jade trading markets have been established one after another. On the whole, the concentration of Hetian jade industry is low, and the sales of the top ten enterprises only account for about 10% of the sales of the whole industry.

According to the information provided by China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, the development situation of China's jewelry industry is good, and the domestic market continues to prosper. Relevant data show that in recent years, the annual growth rate of domestic sales of jewelry and jade jewelry in China has reached more than 15%. In 2008, the total sales of gold, silver and jewelry industry in China was 654.38+08 billion yuan, of which the market size of jadeite and Hetian jade was about 20 billion yuan, of which Hetian jade was about 5 billion yuan. If the ratio between outside Xinjiang and inside Xinjiang is 654.38+0.5: 654.38+0, then the market in Xinjiang is 2 billion yuan. In the next three years, it is estimated that the national market scale of Hetian jade will reach 654.38+0 billion yuan.

At present, jade collectors in China are the third largest group after painting, calligraphy and porcelain, and with the increasing sale and collection. Hetian jade raw materials are increasingly sought after by collectors. Because of its scarcity, the price trend of high-quality hetian jade raw materials and finished products will continue to rise. In the context of increasing inflation, its function of maintaining and increasing value will attract powerful institutions and individuals to participate. Xinjiang Hetian jade market has great development potential, and the prospect of investing in Hetian jade is also quite optimistic.
