MEA Jewellery Market Size, by Country (2025–2032)

Evolving lifestyle priorities and expanding discretionary income pools intensified the demand for curated jewellery offerings across major MEA economies. In 2025, the GCC jewellery market was the leading contributor with USD 17.16 billion, supported by high-income consumers and strong tourism-driven sales, while South Africa was at USD 5.90 billion as branded jewellery adoption strengthened. Egypt was positioned at USD 4.32 billion, and Nigeria was at USD 3.62 billion, reflecting the early transition toward formal retail models. The Rest of MEA accounted for USD 6.12 billion, indicating steady participation from emerging markets.

The MEA Jewellery Market is estimated to expand in 2026 as digital commerce penetration and premium gifting culture gain momentum across the region. From 2027–2032, the market is projected to grow with sustained demand for gold and gemstone products, strategic retail expansion, and strengthening purchasing power in both developed and developing economies. Growth is supported by evolving fashion consciousness, increased brand engagement, and the widening availability of international and regional jewellery chains that continue to elevate consumer access and overall market competitiveness.
