Industry overview

 

When an economy prospers, so does its people. They start spending more on consumer durables, automobiles, luxury goods and gems and jewellery. Of all these products, gems and jewellery provides people with a sense of financial security, as precious metals have the ability to store value. Precious metals provide a comprehensive hedge against exchange rate fluctuations of multiple currencies. Large scale purchasing for investment purpose is carried out by the Central Bank, commercial banks, institutional investors and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs).

 

India owns a special position in the global gems and jewellery market, and is one of the largest bullion markets in the world, with US being the global leader. India is widely known as the land of gold and diamond jewellery, and is globally famous for its precious metals and gemstones. Diamonds were introduced to the world by India and it was the first country in the world to mine, cut and polish diamonds and trade in diamonds. It is also the world’s largest gold and silver consumer. While India plays a dominant role in gems and jewellery processing and consumption, it is one of the least ranked in terms of gold and diamond mining.

 

A preferred global destination for its low production cost and abundance of skilled labour, India was one of the first countries to start making fine Jewellery from minerals and metals. And even today, most of the jewellery made in India is handmade. The gems and jewellery industry is a leading foreign exchange earner for the country and also plays a key role in the economy. Besides, it is considered as an important savings and investment vehicle.

 

The value of the gems and jewellery industry is estimated to be around US$ 28 billion (Source www.gjepc.org), while according to World Gold Council, the industry stood at Rs.760 billion or US$ 16.7 billion; of which the urban Jewellery market is valued at Rs.310 billion (US$ 6.8 billion) and the rural and semi-rural market at Rs.450 billion (US$ 9.9 billion). Of this, gold accounts for nearly 80% share, while the rest comprise diamonds and other jewellery (Source: Care Research).

 

The gems and jewellery industry was severely affected by the global crisis. Consumer spending on luxury items all over the world, especially developed nations was subdued. Despite the crisis, India still remained the biggest

diamond processing centre and the world’s largest gold consuming nation. Exports managed to show robust growth during the year. During the year 2009- 10, India’s exports stood at Rs 1,344.06 billion, registering a 20.42% growth (in rupee terms) as compared to the previous year. In dollar terms, India’s exports grew by 16%. The country’s biggest gold and jewellery export destination is the UAE (32%) followed by Hong Kong (25%) and the US (20%).

 

The recent trends in the global gems and jewellery industry include: fragmentation of rough diamond supply; emergence of new mining areas; beneficiation movement in mining countries; increasing raw material prices and enhanced raw material price volatility.

 

Gold

The major portion of gold jewellery manufactured in India is used for domestic consumption. India consumes approximately 800 tonnes of gold annually. During 2009-10, India produced 3 tonnes of gold, which is negligible when compared to the world’s production of 2450 tonnes. The country’s average annual imports are 600 tonnes and exports stand at 60 tonnes. Around 250 tonnes of gold is recycled annually and India is the largest gold importer (Source: www.mcxindia.com).

 

During the first quarter of 2010, around 748 tonnes of gold were consumed. India, China, USA, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and UAE account for above 60% of the global gold demand. It is imported from countries like Switzerland, South Africa, Australia and UAE. Gold’s tonnage sales declined by 15% and gold imports rose by 49.62% to US $ 6906.79 million in FY 2009-10. The export of gold Jewellery increased by 9.38% to touch US $ 9424.33 million in 2009-10.

 

Diamonds

 

India is the world’s largest diamond cutting and polishing centre and is the third largest consumer of polished diamonds after USA and Japan. Of every 12 diamonds processed in the world, 11 are processed in India, and the country accounts for 60% by value, 82% by carats and 95% by volume of diamonds. Surat, India’s diamond processing hub, contributes over 80% of the country’s diamond processing industry, with US$13.03 billion revenue annually. Major portions of rough, uncut diamonds are further processed in India, and are then exported in the form of polished diamonds or finished diamond jewellery to USA, Hong Kong, Belgium and UAE. Other countries involved in diamond cutting and polishing are China, Israel and Belgium.

 

 

Australia, Botswana, Russia and South Africa are the major suppliers of rough diamonds and constitute most of the diamond mining markets. India imports rough diamonds from Belgium, UK, Israel and UAE.

 

During the year, the diamond jewellery market grew around 20% and India’s value addition in diamond processing segment remains the world’s highest at US$8.42 bn in FY’10.

Company performance during 2009-10

 

Revenues

Diamond business

 

The global demand for diamonds, which had suffered a slowdown in the wake of the economic recession during 2008 and early 2009, improved with economic stabilization during FY2009-10. The Company’s diamond segment revenue grew by 21% to Rs. 28,912.97 million in FY2009-10 from Rs. 23,949.79 million earlier. This growth was primarily due to the international sales of diamonds growing by 29% from Rs. 16,679.11 million to Rs. 21,509.22 million. In the domestic market, the Company has chosen to divert an increasing quantity of diamonds to the fast-growing jewellery business, thereby restricting the growth rate in domestic sales of diamonds to a marginal 2% over FY2008-09 sales of Rs. 7,270.68 million to Rs. 7,403.75 million in FY2009-10.

During FY 2009-10, the retail space occupied by the Company’s products in India increased by 25% from around 750,000 sq. ft to around 1,000,000 sq. ft. This growth came about through an aggressive expansion program, entailing the addition of Company operated stores (124 in FY 2008-09 to 185 in FY 2009-10) and franchisee stores (141 in FY 2008-09 to 225 in FY 2009-10).
