India Unveils SAJEX 2025 in Jeddah to Boost Jewellery Trade
- What: Saudi Arabia Jewellery Exposition (SAJEX 2025) — a big jewellery trade fair focused on business-to-business deals.
- When and where: 11–13 September 2025 at the Jeddah Superdome.
- Who’s organising: India’s Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC) along with the Consulate General of India in Jeddah and the Embassy of India in Riyadh, with help from Saudi and regional trade groups.
Why SAJEX matters
- A gateway to a growing market: Saudi Arabia’s jewellery market is expanding fast, and Indian exporters see it as a strong place to grow their business in the Middle East.
- New opportunities outside usual markets: With difficulties in some older markets, SAJEX gives Indian jewellers a new chance to connect with buyers and retailers in the Gulf.
Event scale and participation
- Exhibitors and stalls: More than 200 companies will showcase their jewellery in over 250 stalls, including participants from India, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Hong Kong, Lebanon and other jewellery centres.
- Visitors expected: Over 2,000 business buyers and trade visitors are expected, making it one of the largest B2B jewellery events in the region.
- Products on display: Natural and lab-grown diamonds, coloured gemstones, gold jewellery (18k, 21k, 22k), platinum, bridal collections, daily wear collections, gifting jewellery, and even machines and tools used in jewellery making.
Special programmes and forums
- Global Jewellery Investment Forum: On the first day, a big investment summit will take place, hosted by GJEPC and the Saudi Ministry of Investment (MISA). It will bring together investors, jewellery brands, and government officials to discuss new deals and partnerships.
- Talks and design shows: There will also be talks, design displays, and panel discussions. These will focus on future trends, new designs, and the use of technology and sustainable methods in jewellery making.
What India hopes to gain
- Stronger India–Saudi trade: The event is expected to make the trade partnership between India and Saudi Arabia stronger, moving beyond oil to focus on jewellery manufacturing.
- Chance for small jewellers: Small and medium jewellery businesses from India will get direct access to Gulf retailers and distributors, which can help them grow faster.
Challenges and outlook
- Local rules and culture: For long-term success, Indian jewellers must follow Saudi rules, quality standards, and also design jewellery that matches the taste of local customers.
- High competition: Many global players will also be part of SAJEX. To stand out, Indian jewellers will need to focus on unique designs, proper certification, and good after-sales service.
