By End-user, the Men segment is projected to dominate the market size in 2024

The luxury watch market's offline distribution channel encompasses various retail outlets, including specialty stores, multi-brand stores, fashion stores, sports stores, electronics stores, hypermarkets, supermarkets, clubhouse stores, and department stores. Among these, specialty stores account for a significant market share due to their extensive collections of high-end timepieces and knowledgeable sales personnel. These experts assist customers in selecting the most suitable luxury watch models based on their preferences. However, the offline distribution channel's luxury watch sales have been adversely impacted by the increasing trend towards online shopping. In response, vendors are expanding their presence in both global and regional markets to maintain their market share.

By Distribution Channel, Offline  segment is expected to hold the largest market size for the year 2024

The luxury watch market is experiencing significant growth due to the introduction of new product offerings from various vendors. Customization and personalization of luxury watches are key trends driving market expansion. To attract a wider customer base, manufacturers are focusing on the affordable luxury watch segment. Hermes International SA recently launched the Two-Tone H08 Watch in rose gold and titanium, while TAG Heuer, a subsidiary of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SE, announced the launch of the TAG Heuer Carrera Chronograph 60th Anniversary Edition. These new product releases are expected to stimulate demand for luxury watches among men.

Europe is forecasted to hold the largest market size by region in 2024

The European luxury watch market holds significant clout within the global industry, characterized by its rich heritage in watchmaking and the production of premium timepieces. Innovative design and the introduction of new products serve as catalysts for market expansion. The allure of luxury watches as status symbols and fashion accessories further fuels demand. However, the European market faces challenges, including demand polarization, socio-political tensions, and economic instability in certain regions, which may impede growth. Rolex SA, a prominent player in the UK market, enjoys a strong consumer following, making it a key contributor to the regional luxury watch sector.
