The import of watch straps and parts made of leather or plastic to Germany is forecasted to grow from 179.36 thousand kilograms in 2024 to 196.05 thousand kilograms in 2028. This indicates a consistent upward trend with modest year-on-year growth ranging from 2.4% to 2.1% across the respective years. In 2023, imports were approximately 175.06 thousand kilograms, suggesting a robust demand and supply chain resilience post-pandemic.

Future trends to watch for:

Increasing consumer preference towards smartwatches may impact traditional watch accessories' growth.
Sustainability practices and regulations could influence the materials used in watch straps.
Potential impacts from trade regulations and geopolitical tensions on import dynamics.
