The UAE Luxury Watch Market size was valued at around USD1.61 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD2.21 billion by 2030. Along with this, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 5.21% during the forecast period, i.e., 2025-30.

The luxury watch market in the UAE has seen high growth in recent years. This can be observed from the increasing sales and imports of premium Swiss watches. As per the International Trade Council, the quantity of Swiss watches imported in the UAE increased by around 11.8% in 2024 compared to the previous year. Moreover, according to the owner of MB&F, an independent Swiss watchmaker company, the demand for premium watches has increased as they were struggling to sell even two watches some years back, but sold around 46 watches in 2024, some of which cost more than USD2,40,000. Therefore, a significant rise in imports and sales of premium watches in the UAE indicates the good growth of the market.
