Icra in its latest report has said the organised jewellery retailers are expected to clock 12-15 per cent revenue growth in current financial year (FY24), mainly aided by expansions planned by a majority of large players. It stated organised jewellers are expected to record revenue growth of 12-15 per cent in current fiscal despite a high base and evolving macro-economic environment.

Icra expects industry growth to moderate to 8-10 per cent YoY (in value terms) in FY24 with volume growth likely to remain constrained by expected volatility in gold prices amidst global macro-economic uncertainties and evolving domestic inflation. However, it said the strong cultural affinity of Indians to gold is likely to support festive and wedding demand for gold jewellery.

In terms of profitability, it said operating margin is likely to remain comfortable and stabilise at around 7.5-8 per cent over the next two years. Besides, it added with the debt protection metrics and liquidity position of players in the sample set expected to remain comfortable, supported by higher earnings on the back of improved scale of operations, the industry outlook is stable.
