2026-06-03

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

In Q2 2026, Swiss watch export volumes slightly declined to 1,167.5 thousand units, lower than the 1,168.9 thousand units in Q1, indicating that the industry's recovery momentum remains fragile. Although entry-level segments and bimetal watches showed resilience, overall exports still face pressure due to the interference of base effects from last year's tariff-driven inventory buildup in the U.S. market, coupled with persistent sluggish demand in China.
