The global online jewelry market is projected to expand by $58.4 billion from 2024 to 2028, achieving a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 19.98%, according to Technavio.
This significant growth is driven by innovations in jewelry design and technology, as well as the adoption of omnichannel strategies by leading brands. Major industry players, including Signet, Titan, Tiffany & Co., LVMH, and Richemont, are seamlessly integrating their online and offline operations. Amazon Go’s cutting-edge “walkout” technology, which utilizes computer vision and sensor fusion to eliminate checkout lines, is a prime example of this trend.
The market is also benefiting from advancements such as virtual try-on features, secure payment gateways, customization options, ethical sourcing, and flexible return policies. These elements enhance the online shopping experience, addressing consumer needs for convenience and trust.
Despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly in developing regions where customers often prefer the tactile experience of in-store shopping for high-value jewelry. In countries like India, the preference for physical stores remains robust. To bridge this gap, retailers are leveraging virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technologies to offer virtual try-on experiences.
However, the market faces hurdles such as poor technology integration and operational issues, including incorrect product assortments and order fulfillment errors. These challenges may impact smaller online retailers, potentially affecting new entrants in the market over the forecast period.
