Jewellery, rugs & toys power growth! India’s creative goods exports rise in FY26; UAE emerges top market

India’s creative goods exports surged 7.3% to $12.5 billion in April-October FY26, driven by fashion accessories, jewellery, carpets, and toys. The UAE emerged as the largest destination, with its share rising significantly, while US demand saw a decline. This growth is attributed to factors like front-loaded US orders and the rise of lab-grown diamonds in jewellery.
