Costume Jewelry Exporters Eyeing Better Profits Next Year

Present scenario

After the downturn, costume jewelry is experiencing a kind of resurgence that hasn't been seen for a long long time. Post recession, every market research firm has predicted a huge surge in demand and high sales. With personal finances back in order, new trends are being observed like a renewed demand for massive, dramatic and heavy metals along with antiques, vintage collection like - over-the-top rings, enormous hoops, chandelier earrings etc.

Wikipedia defines costume jewelry as - " Jewelry or ornamentation to complement a particular fashionable costume or garment. It was intended to be fashionable for a short period of time, out date itself, and then be repurchased to fit with a new outfit or new fashion style." Over a period of time costume jewelry has been able to carve its own niche as a jewelry segment and now, is on the must have list of even the upmarket high class, who used to detest it earlier.

Opportunity

Recent Threats

Retailers profited from consumer extravagance in the past, but were seen struggling, when they had to deal with more conservative buyers, in the midst of recession. Recession caused consumers to scale back on their heavy spendings and jewelry was one of the first casualty of this spend cut. Historically, too whenever the demand for jewelry has dwindled, it has signified the slowness in economy.

Now that the downturn has been reversed, It is entirely up to the jewelry manufacturers to maximise their profits under the current circumstances. Costume jewelry manufacturers earlier used to resort to the traditional wholesaler-retailer nexus to supply and distribute their products. Now with the arrival of web they have been exposed to plethora of opportunities which gives them ample alternate routes to sell & market their products worldwide.

On the business front, costume jewelry manufacturers are located throughout the world, with a particular concentration in parts of China and India, where production of costume jewelry is a full fledged small scale industry.

Conclusion

Challenges

Published at Sooper Articles

Though the sun is shining bright on the costume jewelry, there are still few dark clouds. There has been considerable controversy in the western countries over the lack of regulations in the manufacturing of such jewelry items. These issues range from human rights concerning the treatment of labour, to the use of technology in which potentially harmful chemicals become side products of production. So far the cliché has been that the developing countries are trying their best to address these issues.

Under the current scenario all the exporters and suppliers are going full throttle towards production and distribution and the costume jewelry industry is expected to bounce back quickly. Also, it would be highly interesting to see how Indian costume jewelry makers are able to meet the challenges and consolidate their position in the jewelry market.

What is Foreign Trade And Economic Activity

Net Exports: Concepts and Trends

Open-economy macroeconomics involves the interactions of trade, output,caliber Cartier online, spending, employment,and price levels among different nations.Foreign trade involves imports and exports. A country's imports are its purchases of goods and services from other nations. Although the United States produces most of what it consumes, it nonetheless has a large quantity of imports, which are goods and services produced abroad and consumed domestically. Exports are goods and services produced domestically and purchased by foreigners. Net exports are defined as exports of goods and services minus imports of goods and services. An important component of trade involves merchandise trade, which is trade in goods like foodstuffs and manufacturing. The U. S. has had a merchandise trade deficit in recent years. When a country has positive net exports, it is accumulating foreign assets. The counterpart of net exports is therefore net foreign investment, which denotes net saving or investment abroad and is approximately equal to the value of net exports.

Once we acknowledge the possibility of exports and imports, we must also recognize that a nation's expenditures may differ from its production. Total domestic expenditures (sometimes called domestic demand) are equal to consumption plus domestic investment plus government purchases. This measure differs from total domestic product (or GDP) for two reasons. First, some part of domestic expenditures will be on goods produced abroad, these items being imports (denoted by 1m) like Mexican oil and Japanese automobiles. In addition, some part of America's domestic production will be sold abroad as exports (denoted by Ex) — items like wheat and Boeing aircraft. The difference between national output and domestic expenditures is Ex - Im = net exports = X.
To calculate the total production of American goods and services, we need to include not only domestic demand but also trade, that is, we need to know the total production for American residents as well as the net production for foreigners. This total must include domestic expenditures ( C + I + G) plus sales to foreigners (Ex) less domestic purchases from foreigners (Im). Total output, or GDP, equals consumption plus domestic investment plus government purchases plus net exports: total domestic output = GDP = C + I + G + X

Foreign Exchange Rates

Foreign trade involves the use of different national currencies. The relative price of two currencies is called the foreign exchange rate, which measures the price of 1 unit of domestic currency in terms of foreign currency. The foreign exchange rate is determined in the foreign exchange market, which is the market where different currencies are traded. For example, if the French franc sells at 5 francs to the U. S. dollar, we say that the foreign exchange rate is 5 francs per dollar.

The foreign exchange rate is an important determinant of international trade because it has a large effect on the relative prices of the goods of different countries. To see how the foreign exchange rate affects foreign trade, take wine as an example. The relative prices of U. S. wine and French wine will depend upon the domestic prices of the wines and upon the foreign exchange rate. Say that California Chardonnay wines sell for $6 per bottle, while the equivalent French Chardonnay sells for 40 French francs. Then at the 1984 exchange rate of 10 French francs to the dollar, French wine sells at $4 per bottle while California wine sells at $6, giving an advantage to the imported variety.

Say that by 1996 the foreign exchange rate of the dollar fell (or depreciated) to 5 francs. Then with unchanged domestic prices, the French wine would sell for $8 as compared to $6 for the California wine. Note that when the dollar was expensive, in 1984,Cartier Leaf Charm Necklace, French wine sold for only two-thirds the price of the California variety, while the fall in the value of the dollar over the next decade left French wine selling at a one-third premium over California wines. The fall in the exchange rate on the dollar had the effect of making imports less "competitive" by turning relative prices against imports and in favor of domestic products. If the dollar's price had risen (or appreciated), relative prices would have moved in favor of imports and against domestic production.
Foreign trade involves a new factor — a nation's exchange rate, or the price of the nation's currency relative to other currencies. When a nation's exchange rate rises or "appreciates", the prices of imported goods fall while exports become more expensive in world markets. The result is that the nation becomes less competitive in world markets and its net exports decline. Changes in exchange rates can have major effects on output, employment, and inflation. All these impacts make the exchange rate increasingly important for all nations.
