The US watch market has shown a steady growth trend in recent years. According to IMARC Group data, the US watch market will reach $15.2 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to $26.8 billion by 2033, with an average annual growth rate of 6.2%. This growth is mainly due to the continued demand for luxury watches and smart watches, as well as the rapid development of e-commerce platforms.
In addition, the US luxury watch market has also shown strong growth momentum. According to Grand View Research, the US luxury watch market will have revenue of $3.796 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach $5.785 billion by 2030, with an average annual growth rate of 6.2%. This growth reflects consumers' preference for high-end watch brands and their recognition of watches as an investment and status symbol.
In terms of consumer groups, Generation Z (born between 1997 and 2012) has a growing interest in watches. The Financial Times reported that Generation Z has a purchasing power of more than $360 billion and regards watches as fashion accessories and investment products, especially preferring unique styles and sustainable products. This trend has prompted watch brands to connect with young consumers through social media and digital marketing.
