Is the luxury watch market growing successfully?

It is difficult to determine the exact number of luxury watches sold in the previous year. The best figures that we have been able to obtain are between $3.7 billion and $4.2 billion in 2007. However, those numbers are estimates based upon the top manufacturers and importers in the industry. Luxury watch retailers also sell many luxury watches, but these are not included in the retail figure for luxury watches sold.

Luxury Watches Market Growth

With a retail value of $3.7 billion to $4.2 billion, the market is very large. Most industry experts believe that this market will continue to grow. As with all markets, the growth rate is affected by several factors, including the economic state, product innovations, inflation, and of course the environment in which the product is sold.

Retailers today may have to fight to keep their businesses afloat. New watches may not be sold at retail outlets during economic downtimes, thus leaving them with a surplus.

Industry and market researchers have also determined that consumers are becoming more discerning about who they buy their products from. These surveys and inquiries are designed to find out how consumer tastes and preferences have changed over time.

The top three watch suppliers, importers, and manufacturers are, in order of popularity, Rolex, Omega, Tag Heuer, and Casio. Of these, Rolex is the largest luxury watch supplier. This is why many watch enthusiasts will spend good money on a Rolex.

Another factor that can affect the growth rate of the luxury watch industry is the growth rates of the consumer electronics and computer industries. The luxury watch industry grew by about 25% from 2000 to 2005. Although the growth rate has slowed, the industry will experience a further 25% growth between 2005 and 2010.

One interesting trend is that consumers are growing more selective about who they buy their products from. They are now willing to pay more for brands that provide them with exceptional products. For example, when consumers were asked whether they would buy a product from a company that has an excellent product at a price that they feel comfortable with, 58% of those surveyed said yes.

What Will This Mean For Consumers?

Over the next ten years, consumers will spend more on watches than they do on computers, electronics, cell phones, mp3 players, DVDs, and books combined. This figure will rise to more than $1,000 per year by 2010.

It would appear that consumers are becoming more willing to pay a premium for high-quality watches. The growth rates of these industries will have an effect on the luxury watch industry.

There is no doubt that when the watch industry experiences a further 25% growth in the next few years, we can be sure that there will be additional growth in the next five years, and another 25% increase by 2010. There will be more consumers demanding watches of high quality.

But consumers also need to be aware of the additional competition on the market. They need to be aware that there is a new company on the block, and that company is Tag Heuer.

It will be interesting to see what will happen when Tag Heuer launches their new Seiko E-Swiss Explorer with a 48.7mm diameter and a price tag of $2,000.

I think that in the next few years we will see a huge increase in the demand for watches of high quality. It is such a basic need for human beings.

For many, it seems that watches are a status symbol and for many women, it seems to be a way of keeping up with the Jones's. These consumers are looking for watches with a high level of quality. There is nothing more basic than a watch. It is a "must-have" item for most people. For many others, watches are a way to simply keep time.

Nowadays watches are used as advertising devices. You know we are having a marketing industry for watches. As we know watches are worn by politicians, CEOs and Hollywood stars. They are used for advertising campaigns. This brings us to the next issue I think.

Watches for Advertising - Are We There Yet?

The question remains. Are watches now truly a marketing tool, or just another item we use for fashion, or for other purposes? I believe watches will eventually become a real market segment. I think that watches will become a segment, an industry. These are all categories of products where there has been some recognition and recognition is now beginning to emerge in the marketplace.


* Watches - The next logical move for watches would be advertising. The consumer will not just think about ads on their wrist, but I think the watches will be used to showcase a website. Watches will be used as a way to showcase the products of a retailer.

I believe the trends will eventually allow watches to become a real market segment. I think watches will become a real market segment, but like with all things that have a mass following, there will always be sceptics. My belief is that more than one segment will emerge and the ones that will become successful will be the ones that will have loyal followings.

The ones that will not be the ones that take on an inferior technology or will adopt a superior technology, but not have a mass following. I believe that watches will eventually become a real market segment, but it's a slow process.

I believe that watches will become a real market segment and advertising tool in the next 5 to 10 years. I think this is a product that is here to stay, but it's a slow process that takes time to see results. I think watches will become a real market segment, but it's a slow process that takes years to begin seeing increased sales.
