There is a rising trend in jewel consumption as more people are inclined toward luxurious products. Various positive attributes of the product include assisting in highlighting specific features of the body, showcasing fashion trends/style, helping to enhance looks, and others. The product's growing popularity among high-income earners as a symbol of high status is helping to accelerate the consumption rate. Rising demand for contemporary jewels and an increasing number of designers entering the market continue contributing to market growth.

The COVID-19 pandemic influenced consumer preferences regarding jewelry purchases. With lockdowns and social distancing measures in place, retail jewelry stores experienced a decline in their customer footfall. Moreover, the jewelry industry faced disruptions in its global supply chain due to factory closures, shipping delays, and logistical challenges caused by the pandemic. This resulted in interruptions in the production and distribution of raw materials, gemstones, and finished jewelry products. However, there was a noticeable shift toward online sales channels as consumers turned to e-commerce platforms to purchase jewelry from the safety and comfort of their homes.

Jewelry Market Trends

Focus on Incorporating Technical Features to Surge Product Demand

Technology has advanced significantly, especially post-COVID-19, which has positively influenced the ornaments industry, most notably in the design techniques & manufacturing space. The rising popularity of manufacturers incorporating technology with ornaments is helping to boost the consumption of the product. For instance, the Ringly Luxe Smart Ring has a 14k gold-plated base and large gemstone. It has various technological features such as activity tracking, calories burned, distance, and steps. Furthermore, implanting GPS for safety features in case of loss or robbery in many ornament products is expected to increase the demand for these products.

Jewelry Market Growth Factors

Increasing Disposable Income and Spending Power of Consumers to Favor Market Growth

The growing global economy, owing to the population's high disposable income and spending power, is propelling the demand for the increasing consumption of luxury goods such as ornaments. Additionally, different customs regarding the adoption of jewel pieces followed by people worldwide are expected to significantly boost the product demand. For instance, the World Gold Council article, August 2020, declared that Chinese people have a tradition of giving gold pieces as a gift to the family's younger members at special events. Moreover, the increasing working population of women and rising awareness regarding modern and premium-class gems will further fuel the market growth. Increasing female labor force participation has been one of the most remarkable economic developments. According to the International Labor Organization, the working women population was 46.3% in 2021, up by almost 1% from 2020.

Increasing Adoption of Digital Media Platforms and Opening of New Stores Favor Market Growth

The advancement of digital media that promotes high fashion through reality shows, movies, music videos, and others has influenced the global population to be more inclined toward fashion goods, including ornament products. Moreover, many companies are extending their distribution network and opening new stores worldwide. In February 2024, Aditya Birla Group, an Indian international corporation, launched its new jewelry business under the brand name ‘Novel Jewels Ltd.’

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Strict Regulations on Import & Export and Implementation of Value-added Tax Are Restraining Market Growth

The increasing number of countries worldwide maintaining strict regulations on importing and exporting ornament goods has increased product tariffs. Thus, this leads to an increase in the product's final cost and repels many consumers. Additionally, introducing VAT has hurt consumers' purchasing power, especially the tripling of the VAT rate from July 1, 2020. Therefore, many retailers absorbed the tax to keep attracting sales, creating pressure on margins. A triple Value-Added Tax (VAT), coupled with a surge in gold prices, has created discomfort for individuals. The wholesale sector, which relies on selling its products by weight, has been adversely affected by rising gold prices and higher VAT rates, which put increased pressure on the company's business or profit in the short term.
