Jewellery Industry Insights, AOV and Top Converting Cities for Januray 2024

As we navigate through the early part of the year, the jewellery sector on platforms like Amazon offers fascinating insights on consumer behaviour and market dynamics. Vumonic Datalabs delved into January 2024 data to explore jewellery purchasing trends with a focus on Amazon’s much-anticipated Great Republic Day Sale, and paint a picture of what the future may hold for jewellery enthusiasts and investors alike.

Sales Performance during Amazon Great Republic Sale

January is a significant month for online retail, and this year was no exception. The Great Republic Day Sale, running from the 13th to the 19th, was a period of heightened activity. Remarkably, this week alone accounted for almost 45% of the month's total jewellery sales on Amazon. This surge can be attributed to attractive discounts, exclusive offers, and the wide array of choices available to consumers, highlighting the strategic importance of sales events in driving online retail.

Another notable trend is the significant participation of Prime members in jewellery purchases. Approximately 40% of the users making purchases were Amazon Prime members, indicating a strong correlation between membership and purchasing power. 

Average Order Value of Jewelleries on Amazon

The data reveals an average order value of around 1200 INR for jewellery purchases. This figure is particularly interesting, reflecting the balanced mix of affordability and the desire for quality that consumers exhibit. 

Top Converting Cities in the Jewellery Category on Amazon?

While we witnessed purchases from nearly all pin codes of India, the top cities for sales were Hyderabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Delhi and Chennai which contributed to almost 35% of sales. This tells us a tale of urban India buying high-value items online. It’s fair to add that online is where most high-value purchases are followed by the main street in the aforementioned cities.

Future of Jewellery Market: Bluestone's IPO

As we delve into these insights and ponder over the evolving landscape of online jewellery shopping, there's an undercurrent of anticipation for what's next. One such development is the upcoming initial public offering (IPO) of Bluestone. While not explicitly tied to the data at hand, the mention of Bluestone's IPO in the context of these trends adds an interesting dimension to the narrative. It signals a growing investor interest in the jewellery market, underscored by technological advancements and shifting consumer preferences.

Conclusion

The insights from January 2024 offer a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of the jewellery market on Amazon. From the impact of major sales events to the average order value and the demographics of the consumer base, these trends are indicative of a vibrant and evolving marketplace. As we look forward to developments like Bluestone's anticipated IPO, it's clear that the intersection of technology, consumer behaviour, and investment interest will continue to shape the future of jewellery retail.
