The organised market is expected to grow at over 20 per cent CAGR, accounting for 42-43 per cent of the total market.
"There are multiple drivers in the industry-leading to such rapid growth, driven by rising disposable income (higher per capita growth in double digits), an improving mix for regular wear (beyond weddings and investment-led), enhanced product offering (such as design and diamonds), trust-building through hallmarking, and a better buying experience at organized retail outlets," the report states.
The top 10 states, which include Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Karnataka, West Bengal, and Uttar Pradesh, account for 78 per cent of the organised retail network and contribute 68 per cent of the GDP.
