Indias Gem and Jewellery Sector Targets 15% Growth in Domestic Sales by 2026 to Mitigate Export Challenges

The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) is actively collaborating with industry stakeholders to enhance domestic consumption and sales of gemstones and jewelry. The initiative aims to achieve a growth target of 10% to 15% by the year 2026. This strategy is particularly crucial in light of the potential adverse effects that ongoing conflicts in West Asia may have on export markets.

In recent years, the gem and jewelry industry has faced various challenges, including fluctuating international demand and geopolitical tensions. By focusing on increasing domestic sales, the GJEPC hopes to stabilize the industry and reduce reliance on foreign markets. This initiative may involve marketing campaigns, consumer education, and promotions to boost local interest in both traditional and contemporary jewelry.

Furthermore, as the global economy shifts, there is an increasing recognition of the importance of maintaining robust domestic markets. The GJEPCs efforts align with broader strategies to enhance resilience within the industry and ensure sustainable growth, even amid uncertain international dynamics.
