What percentage of Gold is used in Jewellery, Industry and Investment?

Around 70% of gold demand is jewellery, 11% is industrial (dental, electronics) and 13% is investment (institutional and individual, bars & coins). Gold jewellery has strong "investment" attributes in all countries, and in markets such as India and Middle East is sold by weight at the prevailing daily rate with a supplementary "making charge" which varies according to the complexity of the piece. Jewellery is not used as currency in any market. I hope this answers your question: for further details see our website where you can subscribe to access further demand data and commentary.
