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

According to the latest data, Swiss watch export volume reached 1.372 million units in Q3 2026, a significant increase of 25.6% compared to the previous 1.092 million units, reflecting that the overall watch industry is emerging from its trough. Driven by entry-level models priced below 500 CHF and the low base effect in the US market, overall exports have maintained consecutive months of growth; however, weakness in the Chinese market still adds risks of regional divergence for the future.
