Rising Demand for Lab-Grown Diamonds
The India gems and jewelry market is witnessing a growing shift toward lab-grown diamonds, driven by affordability and ethical sourcing. These diamonds, identical to mined ones in physical and chemical properties, offer a sustainable alternative appealing to eco-conscious consumers. Strict regulations on natural diamond sourcing and advancements in technology have enhanced quality and scalability, making lab-grown diamonds more accessible. Leading jewelry brands are expanding their collections with lab-grown options to attract younger buyers seeking premium yet cost-effective jewelry. Supporting this trend, the government in India allocated a five-year research grant in the Union Budget 2023 to an IIT for advancing indigenous production of lab-grown diamond machinery, seeds, and recipes. Additionally, government incentives for manufacturing are strengthening India’s position as a global hub for sustainable diamond production.
Digitalization and E-Commerce Growth
The India gems and jewelry industry is quickly adopting digital platforms to reach more consumers and increase engagement. Online marketplaces, social media advertising, and virtual try-on technology are transforming the way people shop for jewelry, with companies using AI-powered suggestions, secure payment options, and engaging experiences. Web sales are booming, especially among consumers between 18 and 45 years, who account for 70-80% of digital purchases. The COVID-19 pandemic hastened the shift, furthering the popularity of online shopping for jewelry. The ticket size for buying gold jewelry online averages between INR 25,000 and INR 30,000, with the products usually purchased for everyday use or special festivals. Omnichannel strategies, which meld physical stores and digital channels, are helping brands establish stronger connections with customers. Millennials and Gen Z are leading this revolution, choosing personalized and hassle-free jewelry shopping experiences on the web.

The demand for intricate craftsmanship, temple jewelry, and vintage pieces with cultural significance is on the rise. Additionally, there is growing interest in customization services, including personalized engravings, modular jewelry, and bespoke bridal collections. The trend is fueled by an increasing appreciation for regional craftsmanship and a need for unique jewelry that reflects individual style.
