In 2023, the U.S. imported approximately 91 million USD in battery-operated wristwatches with cases made of precious metal. Forecasts indicate a gradual year-on-year decrease in import values, from 88.858 million USD in 2024 to 76.44 million USD in 2028. This implies an average annual decline, or CAGR, in imports over the five years. The consistent downward trend may reflect market saturation or shifts in consumer preferences towards other types of wristwatches.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in smartwatches, evolving fashion trends, and any changes in U.S. trade policies regarding luxury goods imports. Additionally, environmental concerns could influence market demand, encouraging shifts towards more sustainably produced materials.
