U.S. jewelry market size and growth rate, 2023 - 2030

The demand for gold chains and necklaces is, however, not limited only to weddings and functions. Platinum and Gold wear rings, delicate gold chains, bracelets, and anklets as fashion accessories on a daily basis. These are also gifted on various occasions such as birthdays and anniversaries. This evolving consumption behavior is expected to positively impact market growth.

The increasing acceptance of jewelry among men is also propelling the market. Products such as cufflinks, plain gold chains, tie bars, cartography necklaces, and signet rings are some of the products commonly in demand among men. Demi-fine jewelry acts as a bridge between fast fashion and high-end fine jewelry. It offers superior quality and craftsmanship compared to costume jewelry, yet remains more affordable than traditional fine pieces. Demi-fine jewelry caters to individual aesthetics, offering a wider range of designs and styles compared to traditional fine jewelry.

A vast client base makes it possible for manufacturers to cater to a large market and earn profits. The introduction of new designs and emerging fashion trends are attracting customers and manufacturers are leveraging this frequent change in fashion to design unique products to attract customers. Colored gemstones like emeralds, sapphires, and opals are stealing the spotlight, adding pops of color and individuality to jewelry collections. While classic earring and necklace sets are still popular, artificial jewelry is venturing into new territories. Hair clips, headbands, anklets, and even waist chains are gaining traction, offering even more ways to express your individual style.

Bridal jewelry also plays a significant role in driving the market. In countries like India, the high expenditure on wedding ceremonies and celebrations is expected to positively influence market growth. Gold is significant in Indian culture and is associated with festivals, customs, as well as religious beliefs. Weddings and festivals are the two main occasions for buying gold in India. According to the CAIT Research & Trade Development Society, in November 2022, India witnessed 32 lakh weddings. Bridal jewelry controls 50-55% of the market for gold jewelry.

Additionally, rising awareness about the authenticity of the metals and gems used in the jewelry pieces is driving the market. Manufacturers are not only adhering to authenticity and quality standards but also educating consumers through advertising campaigns. Beaded jewelry has a rich history and cultural significance in many parts of the world, and this is reflected in the growing popularity of ethnic-inspired pieces. Moreover, the market for men's beaded jewelry is also growing, with bracelets and necklaces becoming increasingly popular accessories.

Diamonds are becoming increasingly popular due to an increase in consumer disposable income and spending capacity. Diamonds are considered to be one of the earth’s most impressive natural materials due to their stunning attributes and are perceived as a reflection of one’s financial status. Moreover, fine jewelry is increasingly seen as an investment, with heirloom pieces passed down through generations.

The jewelry market is also expected to witness significant growth via the online channel as major players are focusing on using their websites to announce product launches, sales, and other relevant information. Online retailers often have lower overhead costs compared to physical stores, which translates to more competitive pricing for consumers. Additionally, online platforms frequently offer deals and discounts, making jewelry purchases even more appealing.  However, rising e-commerce frauds and a lack of knowledge about the hallmarks of jewelry are expected to hinder market growth.

Market Concentration & Characteristics

Manufacturers are also focusing on product innovation by leveraging the demand for cross-cultural jewelry designs. Designs inspired by ethnic communities or Greek or Roman cultures are steadily penetrating the market owing to their popularity.  The global market for jewelry exhibits high fragmentation, attributed to significant regional and domestic players across various countries. Leading companies employ key strategies, including mergers, expansions, acquisitions, partnerships, and product development, to enhance brand visibility among consumers.

Jewelry Market Concentration & Characteristics

The market is significantly influenced by regulations that govern the sourcing, production, and trade of jewelry items. Regulatory measures aimed at ensuring ethical sourcing of materials, such as gold and diamonds, and adherence to environmental standards have a notable impact on the market. Legislation concerning conflict-free sourcing, responsible mining practices, and fair labor standards directly influence the supply chain and production processes within the industry.

In the jewelry industry, various product substitutes exist that can impact consumer purchasing decisions. One notable substitute is fashion accessories such as scarves, handbags, and belts, which offer alternative ways to accessorize and complement outfits without the investment associated with fine jewelry.
