In 2023, France's import of complete movements of watches unassembled or partly assembled was slightly higher than the forecast for 2024 at $376.02 thousand. This market anticipates a gradual decline over the next five years, with values predicted to decrease annually by nearly 1%. This steady decrease results in a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) characterized by a negative trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Potential shifts in consumer demand towards digital or smart watches, impacting traditional mechanical watch components.
Economic factors influencing import policies or costs that could further affect the market dynamics.
Technological innovations in watchmaking that might alter the import requirements or the industry's structural needs.
