According to a new report published by Grand View Research, Inc., the global jewelry market size is projected to reach USD 482.22 billion by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7% from 2024 to 2030. The luxury goods sector continues to serve as a major driving force behind this growth, despite ongoing challenges posed by fluctuating economic trends worldwide.

Following the global recovery from the 2008 financial crisis, there has been a consistent rise in the demand for jewelry, reflecting a resurgence in consumer spending. Notably, a significant shift in consumer behavior has been observed in recent years, with branded jewelry gaining increasing popularity. This trend is especially prevalent among affluent and upper-middle-class consumers in emerging markets—most prominently in the Asia Pacific region—where branded jewelry is not only a symbol of fashion but also of status and identity. According to the World Gold Council, in 2018, India and China together accounted for over 50% of the global gold jewelry demand, underlining their central role in the global market.

One of the reasons consumers prefer branded or established jewelry brands is the assurance of authenticity, design uniqueness, and trustworthiness. In addition, the influence of e-commerce has revolutionized purchasing patterns in the jewelry sector. Most consumers today conduct extensive online research before making a purchase and increasingly opt for online platforms for their convenience, accessibility, and broader product variety.

Technological innovations have also been instrumental in transforming various stages of the jewelry value chain—from mining and material sourcing to manufacturing and final sales. Notable advancements such as computer-aided design (CAD), 3D printing, and augmented reality (AR) have enabled jewelers to enhance product precision, reduce production time, and offer personalized experiences. These tools are also helping brands increase profit margins and optimize performance in retail and online outlets.

An emerging trend reshaping the industry is the digital transformation of the shopping experience. For instance, in June 2017, YOOX NET-A-PORTER GROUP, an Italian luxury fashion e-retailer, collaborated with Lumyer Inc., a U.S.-based app development company, to launch an augmented reality (AR) camera application. This tool allows users to virtually "try on" jewelry, handbags, and sunglasses, offering a more immersive and interactive shopping experience that blends online and offline retail environments.
