Bergio International noted that the jewelry design and manufacturing industry is extremely competitive and has few barriers to entry.
In this industry, competition is between jewelry designers and luxury jewelry manufacturers, as well as with retail jewelry stores and e-commerce stores.
Bergio International estimates that there are more than 1,500 jewelry design and manufacturing companies worldwide.
This company believes that the jewelry industry competes in the global marketplace and, therefore, must be adaptable to remain competitive.
Consumer spending on discretionary goods, such as jewelry, is sensitive to changes in consumer confidence and, ultimately, consumer confidence is affected by general business considerations in the economy.
Generally, consumer discretionary spending declines in times of falling consumer confidence, which can affect retail sales of jewelers’ products.’
Thus, U.S. consumer confidence reflected these slowing conditions over the past several years.
