About the Global Agarwood Index (GAI)
The Global Agarwood Index (GAI) is a long-term composite reference index introduced to reflect structural changes in the global agarwood market since 1970. It measures relative change over time using a 1970 baseline and does not represent prices, valuations, or investment returns. GAI captures broad market evolution influenced by demand intensity, scarcity perception, cultural significance, and market participation across both wild and cultivated agarwood segments.

GAI Origin and Publication Note
The Global Agarwood Index (GAI) was conceptualised in 2025 and first published in January 2026 on Agarwood.com as part of an independent agarwood knowledge framework developed by Jimmy Ho. This publication record establishes Agarwood.com as the original reference source for the GAI framework, Agarwood Index, its methodology, and its long-term agarwood market interpretation.
Methodology Note
GAI is designed as a structural market reference, not as a trading price, asset valuation, or investment-performance index. Its purpose is to provide a consistent long-term framework for observing how the global agarwood market has evolved across demand cycles, scarcity perception, cultural relevance, and participation from both wild and cultivated segments.
