Motisons Jewellers Ltd Share Price Management Discussions

The Gems and Jewellery ("G&J") industry is a broad spectrum industry consisting of varied activities, like manufacture and trading of jewellery consisting of gold jewellery (with varied purities of 22 kt, 18kt & 14 kt), diamond & gem stones studded jewellery and processing of rough diamonds to create cut & polished diamonds. In India certain varieties of traditional jewellery like Polki, Kundan etc. continue to be worn at special occasions mainly weddings.

In addition, silver jewellery, has gained much popularity in recent times due to its variety of designs as well as affordability. The G&J industry continues to remain dependent upon the capabilities of artisans who continue to bring out the magic by their skills. The majority of jewellery in India continues to be handmade though the use of machines is now increasing in the cutting & polishing of diamonds. India is deemed to be the hub of the global jewellery market because of its low costs and availability of high-skilled labour. The skills of Indian karigars has ensured that it remains the top most country in the world in the field of handmade gold jewellery as well as cutting and polishing of diamonds.

The G&J industry plays a vital role in the Indian economy as it is one of the largest exporters of the country and also provides employment to a very large number of artisans.

As per rough estimates there are almost half a million jewellery retail outlets across the country. Retail jewellery shops are present in every nook and corner of the country. However, majority of these outlets are in the unorganized segment though the share of branded jewellers is increasing steadily. Many organized jewellers are now expanding their operations from a single store to become a multi store chain. As in many other sectors in jewellery also the concept of becoming a franchisee of an established brand is also catching up. This provides the brands an opportunity to expand in an asset light manner.

The strong domestic chains are also opening stores overseas, especially in the Middle East, which has a sizeable Indian diaspora as well as sizeable demand (especially of gold jewellery) from local population as well. In addition there is a demand for traditional jewellery from NRIs all across the world, which is met through exports.

OPPORTUNITIES AND THREATS

OPPORTUNITIES

The most profound driver behind the Indian Gems and Jewelry Market is its deep-rooted cultural significance and tradition. Jewelry has been an integral part of Indian culture for centuries. It holds a special place in religious ceremonies, festivals, weddings, and other auspicious occasions. Traditional Indian jewelry, such as Kundan, Polki, Jadau, and temple jewelry, is celebrated for its craftsmanship and symbolic meaning.

The second significant driver is the rising disposable income and aspirational buying patterns among the Indian population. With the countrys economy steadily growing, a burgeoning middle class, and increasing urbanization, more people have access to higher incomes and aspire to invest in jewelry.

Indias Gems and Jewelry Market is not limited to domestic consumption; it plays a crucial role in global trade. The country is one of the worlds largest exporters of gems and jewelry, contributing significantly to foreign exchange earnings. Indian jewelry is highly regarded for its craftsmanship, intricate designs, and competitive pricing.

The export segment serves as a powerful driver of the domestic market. The international reputation of Indian jewelry increases its appeal among domestic consumers. This leads to a rise in the adoption of Western-style jewelry, with Indian brands incorporating global design trends and catering to a diverse clientele, both at home and abroad

THREATS

The Indian gems and jewellery market faces some challenges, such as high import duties, fluctuating gold prices, lack of standardization, and competition from synthetic and imitation products. The high import duties on gold and other precious metals increase the cost of production and reduce the competitiveness of the industry. The fluctuating gold prices affect the demand and profitability of the industry, as consumers tend to postpone or cancel their purchases when the prices are high. The lack of standardization and certification of the products leads to quality issues and consumer distrust. The competition from synthetic and imitation products, such as lab-grown diamonds and artificial jewellery, poses a threat to the industry, as they offer lower prices and similar appearance to the natural products.
