Highlights

Despite a challenging environment in the US until 2010, global jewellery expenditure will grow by 35% over the next five years to $318bn thanks to rapid growth in the Asia Pacific countries. These will add $41bn to the market by 2013, accounting for over half of all global growth in the sector.

The luxury segment will outperform the mass market, increasing its share from 20% to 30% as developing markets become more enamored by brands. Meanwhile mass market retailers will struggle with rising commodity prices and lower demand, squeezing their margins even further.

The global significance of brands is highlighted by the Richemont and Swatch Groups commanding 7.1% of the market each, and producing leading operating margins. This indicates how mass market retailers can differentiate themselves from rivals with own branded and exclusive product.
