The value of the global jewellery market is expected to increase from about 271 billion U.S. dollars to 650 billion dollars in 2035. In Singapore, jewellery industry is less well-known, but making more transaction values than Fashion is!
What's more incredible? Jewellery employs less than 10,000 people on the island. Such a small workforce means there is more value added per worker, and higher individual compensation on average.
