Growth Drivers

• Growing return on investment (ROI) to propel market demand

The global jewelry market is projected to grow owing to the high return on investment (ROI) of jewelry products. For many decades the ROI on jewelry has only increased or remained constant. There have been only a few situations due to which prices of materials used to manufacture real jewelry have decreased.

For many families or individuals, jewelry remains a major way of investing money since there is almost a 100% guarantee that the investment value will not diminish even after years of purchasing it. Jewelry items made of fine materials like gold or diamond are extremely long-lasting. They show durability that no other material can show and they can be sold at any point in time unlike various other dead-assents like cars or homes that may witness a decline in demand due to various social or political factors.

Restraints

• High cost to restrict market expansion

Jewelry pieces are high in cost since the materials used to manufacture fine pieces are extremely rare. The final price of jewelry depends on various factors including the type of material used as the base, its rarity, the quality of the material, and the intricacy standard of the work done on the material for refined jewelry designs, and is highly influenced by the supply and demand rate of the products. The scarcity of materials and designer make them so valuable. Since they are high in price, middle or low-income groups may find them unaffordable or they may buy in limited quantities, thus restricting the global market growth.

Opportunities

• Increasing investments to provide growth opportunities

The global jewelry market is projected to benefit from the growing number of businesses in the jewelry business across the manufacturing line worldwide. Given the profitable nature of the jewelry, multiple players with heavy investments regularly enter the market starting from research, material extraction, designers, and final jewelry retailers. There are growing collaborations and other strategic ventures that could aid the expansion of the jewelry segment.

For instance, in 2019, the share price of Tiffany, a diamond jewelry retailer, increased by 32% after luxury group LVMH showed interest in the acquisition of the jewelry brand.

Challenges

• Understanding changes in consumer behavior to act as a major challenge

The global market runs on the demand that is generated from the consumer end and solely runs on the buying patterns of the consumers. It is imperative that business players keep a keen eye on how these consumer preferences keep evolving to forecast future trends to stay better prepared.

Factors like changing political conditions, economic development in the region, and the financial status of the majority of the regional population determine the sale value of fine jewelry. Understanding and navigating through these changes remains a major challenge for global market players.
