SAUDIJEX 2025
11- 13 September 2025 – JEDDAH SUPERDOME
Dear Applicants,
Greetings from The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC)!
We are happy to inform you that GJEPC is all set to launch SAUDIJEX 2025, its first business-to-business jewellery show, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia in partnership with the Indian Consulate in Jeddah, the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Govt. of India.  The event will be held at JEDDAH SUPERDOME from September 11–13, 2025.
The India International Jewellery Show (IIJS) has been a transformative platform for the Indian gem and jewellery industry, opening doors to unprecedented opportunities. Over the years, it has empowered our members to showcase their craftsmanship and expand their reach to global markets, firmly establishing India as a global leader in jewellery manufacturing and trade.
Building on this legacy, GJEPC is now taking bold strides into new markets. Following the successful launch of IGJS Dubai, SAUDIJEX 2025 in Jeddah is the next frontier. Saudi Arabia offers immense potential for Indian jewellers to connect with high-value buyers and tap into a growing demand for premium jewellery. This landmark initiative is your opportunity to explore new horizons and drive your business to new heights.
About Saudi Arabia:
Saudi Arabia is undergoing rapid economic transformation, reducing its dependence on oil, diversifying income streams, and enhancing competitiveness. The country ranks 16th in the World Competitiveness Index 2024, ahead of global economies like Japan and France.
Saudi Arabia is the largest country in the Gulf region, boasts a population of 3.60 crore, and the largest economy in the Arab world with a GDP of $1.11 trillion. The Saudi market is expanding rapidly with 36 million+ consumers with rising disposable incomes.
Gem and Jewellery sector in Saudi Arabia:
Gems and jewellery is an important component of trade between the two countries and there is wide scope for bilateral expansion of trade. Saudi Arabia is an important destination for Indian gems and jewellery as our designs are highly popular among consumers.
Gold is central in the Saudi Arabian culture and is a significant part of weddings and other important ceremonies. This cultural relevance results in an ever-increasing requirement for gold adornments which form an essential segment of the market.
Also, Diamond and precious gemstone studded jewellery is seeing a rise in demand, with a preference to own unique, high-end items.
Additionally, the growth of luxury shopping destinations in Saudi Arabia, such as VIA Riyadh, Centria Mall, and Al Nakheel Mall in Riyadh, as well as The Boulevard and Tahlia Street in Jeddah, along with the provision of tourist visas, have drawn a significant number of foreign visitors, thereby increasing sales of jewellery and gems.
In light of the aforementioned, the SAUDIJEX exhibition will be organised, following the format of the IIJS Show, with 200+ Indian and international exhibitors spread across more than 500 booths, and hosting more than 2000 international buyers from all over the world.
With the participation of the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce and all key players in the Saudi Arabian gem and jewellery industry, SAUDIJEX 2025 is poised to garner significant attention.
