Growth Outlook
Growing — India's expanding middle class driving demand for jewellery insurance (total insured jewellery value rising approximately 15% annually), coupled with the formalisation of India's jewellery market under BIS mandatory hallmarking (nearly 1 crore pieces hallmarked monthly as of 2025), is creating sustained demand for qualified appraisers. The gold-loan segment — Muthoot Finance and Manappuram alone manage over ₹80,000Cr in gold-loan books — requires constant valuation capacity. Supply of GIA/IGI-certified appraisers remains concentrated in Mumbai, Surat, and Delhi; tier-2 city appraisers (Coimbatore, Rajkot, Jaipur, Thrissur) can command premium rates due to lower local competition. Lab-grown diamond growth adds a new complexity layer that requires updated detection skills, creating continuing-education demand.
