Overview

Summary
The 2023 smartwatch market reveals a new strategic direction for brands. Smartwatches have emerged as a new channel for market dynamism as the growth of established consumer electronics like smartphones decelerates. Despite a positive growth trajectory—influenced by demand transitioning from smart bracelets—an uncertain global economic climate continues to loom above. Challenges such as reduced consumer spending power and disappointing sales in 2022’s fourth-quarter peak season have necessitated a downward adjustment in 2023’s smartwatch market forecasts, now expected to reach 130 million units.

The shipment landscape for brands in 2023 largely mirrors that of 2023, indicating stability amid market fluctuations. During these unstable times, the push for innovation and the introduction of new products remain constant, showcasing the resilience and adaptability of the smartphone sector.
