The gem and jewellery exporters eye generating a business of $8 billion at the world’s second largest B2B gem and jewellery trade show, India International Jewellery Show which will begin on Wednesday in Mumbai.

The show comes on the back of the recent India-UK free trade agreement which is expected to open up a business opportunity of $7 billion.

Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), said the IIJS event this year is set to be the biggest ever with 2,100 companies and 3,600 stalls. This apart, more than 50,000 visitors from 1,300 Indian cities and 80 countries are expected to visit IIJS this year, he said.

The machinery show, IGJME, at IIJS 2025 is by far the biggest, with 415 booths. Looking ahead, our vision for the machinery show is quite ambitious. “We aim to host the world’s largest machinery and tech event, potentially as early as next year,” says Bhansali.

GJEPC is also gearing up to explore the $5 billion market opportunity in Saudi Arabia and GCC. GJEPC, with government and consulate support, is planning the SAJEX B2B show in Saudi Arabia to attract top retailers from GCC, Northern Africa, Middle East, CIS region, Brazil, and Europe, ensuring a mix of Arab and non-Arab buyers.

“We are also taking delegations to Saudi Arabia and bringing Middle Eastern designers to India for collaboration and product development,” said Bhansali.

The colour gemstone section is the largest ever, featuring 250 booths. The Select Club, which was initiated to bring together fine and premium jewellers, has also expanded significantly to 313 booths.

IIJS 2025 will focus not just on machines, but also on technology, software, artificial intelligence, machine learning, and AI-based digital solutions.
