"Watches in Singapore" Published

From: Fast Market Research, Inc.
Published: Mon Nov 23 2015


Value growth in watches slowed in current terms during 2015 compared with 2014, as consumers were increasingly cautious about spending on luxury watches amidst global and local soft economic conditions. In order to combat the slowdown in revenues, luxury watch retailers, including Cortina and The Hour Glass, sought to offer lower priced watch brands at under S$5,000 to attract a new group of consumers. Some luxury watch brands, such as Patek Philippe, reduced their prices during 2015 to increase their attractiveness to consumers.

Competitive Landscape

Swatch Group SEA (S) Pte Ltd led watches in 2014, with a 9% value share, representing a slight gain from 2013. Omega was the key contributor to the company’s increase in value share during 2014, alongside consumers’ willingness to trade up to luxury watch brands for the status and perceived better product quality. Furthermore, Omega continuously invested in marketing campaigns during the year to reinforce consumers’ brand awareness, which was already relatively strong.

Industry Prospects

Watches are expected to record positive constant value growth over the forecast period, at a stronger pace than in 2015. Projected improvements in global and Singaporean economic conditions in the forecast period will benefit consumers’ disposable incomes, thus increasing their willingness to trade up to luxury watches. Consumers’ brand consciousness will support their penchant to use luxury watches as a status symbol, further increasing their desire to trade up from low- and mid-priced watches.
