Industry overview

Growth of Jewelry industry

Downloaded by Param Dhrangadhariya (paramdhrangadhariya1436@gmail.com)


lOMoARcPSD|26420285

The global jewelry market size was valued at USD 249.02 billion in 2021 and is
expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.5% from 2022 to 2030.
Increasing disposable income and innovative jewelry designs offered by manufacturers are
expected to drive the demand. Changing lifestyles and perceptions of jewelry as a status symbol
are expected to boost the growth of this market. COVID-19 has had a positive effect on jewelry
sales, with 30% of consumers in a recent poll reporting they purchased more jewelry during the
pandemic, according to a study from the supplier group, the Plumb Club. The survey entitled
“The Plumb Club Industry & Market Insights 2021” also noticed that 49% of consumers
bought as much jewelry as they always did, while 21% purchased less.

The increasing acceptance of jewelry among men is also propelling the growth
of 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. 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.

Bridal jewelry also plays a significant role in driving the market. In countries
like India, high expenditure on wedding ceremonies and celebrations is expected to
positively impact the market growth. Women are focusing on the latest trends when it
comes to jewelry and accessories. The availability of customization for such products
is an important factor among consumers and is likely to bode well for the market.
Additionally, rising awareness regarding 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.

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. The market for jewelry is also

lOMoARcPSD|26420285

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. However, rising e-commerce frauds and a lack of knowledge
about hallmarks on jewelry are expected to hinder the market growth.

Hypotheses

A hypothesis, in a scientific context, is a testable statement about the


relationship between two or more variables or a proposed explanation for
some observed phenomenon. In a scientific experiment or study, the
hypothesis is a brief summation of the researcher’s prediction of the study
findings, which may be supported or not by the outcome. Hypothesis testing is
the core of the scientific method.

The researcher's prediction Is usually referred to as the alternative


hypothesis and any other outcome as the null hypothesis – basically, the
opposite outcome to what is predicted. A simple hypothesis might predict a
causal relationship between two variables, meaning that one has an effect on
the other.

lOMoARcPSD|26420285

A complex hypothesis is similar to a simple one but includes two or


more independent variables or two or more dependent variables. The
hypothesis is what the researchers predict the relationship between two or
more variables, but it involves more than a guess. Most of the time, the
hypothesis begins with a question which is then explored through background
research. It is only at this point that researchers begin to develop a testable
hypothesis.

A Null hypothesis Is a hypothesis that says there is no statistical


significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis
that the researcher is trying to disprove.

An Alternative hypothesis simply is the inverse, or opposite, of the null


hypothesis. In an Alternative hypothesis that says there is statistical
significance between the two variables in the hypothesis. It is the hypothesis
that the researcher is trying to prove.

When the null hypothesis is true and you reject it, you make a type I
error. The probability of making a type I error is a, which is the level of
significance set for hypoiliesis test. An a of 0.05 indicates that you are willing
to accept a 5% chance that you are wrong when you reject the null hypothesis.
When the null hypothesis is false and you fail to reject it, you make a type II
error. The probability of making a type II error is B, which depends on the
power of the test.

chosen by a researcher to combine various components of research in a
reasonably logical manner so that research problem is efficiently handled. It
provides insights about “how” to conduct research using a particular
methodology.

as under: -

1) Descriptive Research Design


2) Experimental Research Design
3) Correlational Research Design
4) Diagnostic Research Design
5) Explanatory Research Design

The research design should be free from bias and neutral so that the
opinions about the final evaluated scores and conclusion from multiple
individuals and consider those who agree with the derived results. It should
also be reliable so that the research conducted on regular basis, the researcher
involved expects similar results to be calculated every time. There are multiple
measuring tools available for research design but valid measuring tools are
those which help a researcher in results according to the objective of research.

The type of research is Descriptive Research Design.

In a descriptive research design, a researcher is solely interested in


describing the situation or case under his/her research study. It is theory-based
research design which is created by gather, analyze and presents collected

research purpose or project. Primary data can be collected in a number


of ways. However, the most common techniques are self administered
surveys, interviews, field observation and experiments. Primary data
collection is quite expensive and time consuming compared to
secondary data collection. Primary data collection may be only suitable
method for some types of research.

obtain data from the sources both internal and external to the firm. The
secondary data can be both qualitative and quantitative. The qualitative
data can be obtained through newspaper, TV, interviews, transcripts,
etc. while the quantitative data can be obtained through a survey,
financial statements and statistics.

Findings

On the basis of the survey conducted by me about to entering into the


Diamond Jewelry Market for JAY BHAVANI JEWELER, I found that it is beneficial
for the company to enter in diamond jewelry market because the data which is
collected through the questionnaires is in favor of the company.

The factors which are affecting and which were significant in the research &
affects the buying behavior are:

o There is main competitor coming in Junagadh in short period in


Diamond and Gold Jewelry market for Jay Bhavani Jewelers is
Tanishq.

o Because of high labor charges people are not visiting Jay Bhavani
Jewelers.

o People are happy with the quality of Jay Bhavani Jewelers and they go
to Jay Bhavani Jewelers only because the purity & Quality of Gold.

services then other retailers.

lOMoARcPSD|26420285

o The pattern is also major factor because of which people does not
prefer Jay Bhavani Jewelers.

o There is relationship between consumer preference for types of jewelry


products and educational qualification of the consumers.

o Majority of the people buy gold jewelry for the marriages in their
family. It is traditional attitude among the people and gold jewels have
different suggestions attached to it.

Suggestions

o Jay Bhavani Jewelers should give such discounts and offers on some special
occasions such as Marriage days and other festival season. The offers and
discounts can also be provided in the traditional jewelry shops to get more
customers towards them.

o Customers feels that the wastage charges must not be levied. This is because
they are of the attitude that when making jewelry the wastage is again being
utilized by the jewelers themselves. Also, they convey that a large amount is
being taken for making charges and this must be reduced to gain the customer
loyalty by Jay Bhavani Jewelers.

o Most of the customers expect good customer services from the jewelry shops.
They feel that their thoughts and ideas must be given importance at the time of
purchase. The Jay Bhavani Jewelers can improve their service by providing
adequate information to their customers relating to their purchase.

o Due to increase in the usage of fashion jewelry which is in mind-driving


designs, customers are in need of such new and trendy designs in gold jewelry
too. Though now a days light weighted gold jewelry comes in eye-catching
designs, still more new varieties are expected by the buyers. So, Jay Bhavani
Jewelers should focus on new designs and light weighted jewelry to figlit
competitions.

o Jay Bhavani Jewelers should also make website or should also promote their
company by doing advertisement in hoardings and online pop-up
advertisement. They could also sell their products on amazon and flip kart.

Conclusion

After going through all the process of this unit, I am concluding that Jay
Bhavani Jewelers is one of the best well-organized and well-managed company. It is
progressive company also. This company is continuously trying to improve its
productivity by adopting latest and modern designs. On the basis of the survey which
was conducted by me on Jay Bhavani Jewelers for entering into Gold Diamond

Diamond Jewelry market, they will surely get extremely good response. It also
beneficial for the company. Its employees and also for the public because people will
