The import of wrist watches with cases of precious metal or metal clad with precious metal to India shows a declining trend from 2024 onwards. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decrease in the value of imports, with a year-on-year decline projected between 0.95% and 1.05%. Compared to the actual import value of 2023, this downturn marks a clear shift in the market trajectory.
