Recent Study: Watches in Sweden

Watch sales in Sweden registered positive development over the review period, with a value CAGR of 6%, for two main reasons. Firstly, unlike in the rest of Europe, the economy in Sweden did not slump, and an increasing number of Swedes opted to show their status with mid- to high-price band watches. Secondly, there was a clear interest in using watches as fashion accessories, which meant that lower-priced bands performed well. As in the last years of the review period, in 2014 both volume and value sales development were positive due to these reasons.

Competitive Landscape

Swatch held the leading value share in watches at 17% in 2013. The company was successful due to the fact that it had brands in all price bands and watch categories. Swatch’s top-selling brands included Swatch, Omega, Longines and Tissot. Ranked second and third were Seiko brand, and luxury brand owner, Rolex, both with 6% value shares.

Industry Prospects

Demand for mechanical and quartz analogue watches will likely continue to grow into the forecast period. Both volume and value demand will be driven by fashion and status trends. Lower-priced quartz analogue watches will witness the impact of fashion, while more premium-positioned and luxury watches will primarily be bought as status symbols. Sales of mechanical watches will be undermined by smart phones.
