Fine Jewellery & Watch Retailing in Australia Industry Data and Analysis
The Fine Jewellery and Watch Retailing industry consists of companies that sell fine jewellery and watches made of precious or semiprecious gemstones and metals. A challenging retail landscape has posed multiple difficulties for retailers over the past few years. Heightened interest rates and inflationary pressures have prompted a dual reaction. Some consumers have focused on fine jewellery and watches as solid investments during economic instability, while others have restrained their spending amid financial uncertainty. Nevertheless, the industry has benefited from underlying demand for luxury goods and surging prices of precious metals like gold and silver. Industry revenue is expected to expand at an annualised 2.5% over the five years through 2025-26 to $5.1 billion. Improving consumer sentiment over the three years through 2025-26 has enabled retailers to pass on higher input costs for silver and gold, thereby supporting their profit margins. This backdrop is also contributing to an anticipated revenue hike of 2.7% in 2025-26.
