Moonlight Bullion Refinery Co., Ltd. highlights a pivotal shift in the silver jewelry industry, as competition across the Global Jewelry Supply Chain moves beyond quality, pricing, and manufacturing capabilities toward "The Next Benchmark" — a new competitive landscape increasingly shaped by Responsible Sourcing, Traceability, Transparency, Certification, and Sustainability. In response to this transformation, the company is hosting "Moonlight Silver Forum 2026," bringing together industry leaders and businesses to exchange perspectives, anticipate emerging standards, and strengthen their readiness to compete in an evolving global market.
Mr. Kittisak Udomdangarom, Co-Founder & Shareholder of Moonlight Bullion Refinery Co., Ltd., said in his opening remarks at Moonlight Silver Forum 2026 that the global silver jewelry market continues to demonstrate strong growth potential. Thailand plays a significant role as one of the world's key manufacturing and export hubs for silver jewelry. In 2025, Thailand's silver jewelry exports reached USD 2.522 billion, representing growth of 31.56%, with major export destinations including the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, and Australia.
These figures reflect sustained international demand for Thai silver jewelry and components, supported by Thailand's well-established manufacturing capabilities and the exceptional craftsmanship of Thai artisans, which has long earned international recognition.
Despite the market's considerable growth potential, the competitive landscape of the global gems and jewelry industry is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Competition is no longer defined solely by product quality, price, or manufacturing capacity. Instead, the Global Jewelry Supply Chain is increasingly placing greater emphasis on Responsible Sourcing, Traceability, Transparency, Certification, and Sustainability.
In particular, the ability to trace raw materials back to their origins, demonstrate socially responsible sourcing and manufacturing practices, and comply with recognized standards or certification systems issued by credible organizations is expected to play an increasingly decisive role in how global brands select manufacturers and business partners. As a result, industry players must prepare for this transition and elevate their business practices to align with the emerging direction and expectations of the global jewelry industry.
As one of Thailand's leading precious metal manufacturers, Moonlight Bullion Refinery Co., Ltd. is certified by the Responsible Jewellery Council (RJC), an international organization dedicated to advancing responsible practices throughout the jewelry and watch supply chain. In collaboration with the Gem and Jewelry Institute of Thailand (Public Organization), the Thai Silver Exporters Association, and the ASEAN Gems and Jewellery Trade Association (AGJA), the company is organizing Moonlight Silver Forum 2026 as a platform bringing together leaders and experts from the precious metals and jewelry industries.
The Forum aims to facilitate an exchange of perspectives on the evolving Global Jewelry Supply Chain, deepen industry understanding of emerging standards that are reshaping global competition, and equip Thai businesses with the knowledge and readiness required to strengthen their competitiveness in international markets.
Three Key Themes Shaping the Future of the Industry
Moonlight Silver Forum 2026 highlights three key areas designed to encourage industry stakeholders to look ahead and prepare for the next chapter of the silver and jewelry industry:
- Silver in a Changing World — An overview of the transformation taking place across the global silver and silver jewelry markets, including the key forces reshaping market structures, dynamics, and demand.
- A New Chapter of Sustainable Sourcing — Emerging approaches to preparing businesses for Responsible & Sustainable Sourcing, with a particular focus on raw material provenance, responsible procurement practices, and the increasing role of recycled materials.
- The Next Benchmark — An exploration of the new standards and market expectations surrounding Traceability, Certification, Transparency, Responsible Sourcing, and Competitiveness, together with practical perspectives on how businesses can integrate these principles into their operations and long-term strategies.
Moonlight Silver Forum 2026 is therefore more than a forum for discussing the future direction of the silver and jewelry industries. It is a platform designed to encourage businesses and industry stakeholders to look ahead, anticipate the transformation of the Global Jewelry Supply Chain, and consider one critical question: As the industry benchmark evolves, are Thai businesses ready to rise to "The Next Benchmark"?
