Macro

2026-06-19

Description

Total Swiss Watch Export Volume is an indicator published by the Federation of the Swiss Watch Industry (Fédération de l'industrie horlogère suisse, FH). This indicator measures the total export volume of Swiss watches. It is used to observe the performance and health of the Swiss watch industry, while also serving as an important reference for global luxury market trends and Switzerland's overall economic performance. Higher export volumes typically indicate strong demand and industry prosperity, while lower export volumes may suggest weak demand and potential challenges.

The Total Swiss Watch Export Volume is calculated by summing up all watches exported from Switzerland during a specific period. The statistical coverage includes all categories of Swiss watches, including mechanical watches, quartz watches, smartwatches, etc., regardless of price range. The data is primarily sourced from export declaration records of Swiss customs.

This data is updated monthly, with the latest figures typically released in the middle of the following month.

AI Data Insight

Total Swiss watch exports in April 2026 fell to 1158.8 thousand units, a slight decrease of 0.75% from the previous month, accompanied by a marginal year-over-year decline of approximately 1%. Although the decline in the given data is mild, market consensus and official reports indicate that, affected by the front-loading effect triggered by US tariffs last year, the overall value of watch exports has suffered a double-digit recession. Looking ahead, weak high-end consumption and geopolitics will continue to test the pricing and inventory strategies of the Swiss watch industry.
