Australia Luxury Watch Market to Grow with a CAGR of 3.14% through 2030

The Australia luxury watch market is driven by rising disposable incomes, growing interest in premium fashion accessories, increasing brand consciousness, and demand for limited-edition timepieces among affluent and style-conscious consumers

According to TechSci Research report, “Australia Luxury Watch Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, the Australia Luxury Watch market stood at USD 575.09 million in 2024 and is anticipated to grow USD 689.70 million by 2030 with a CAGR of 3.14% during forecast period. The Australia luxury watch market represents a vibrant and evolving segment of the broader luxury goods industry. Anchored by a growing base of high-net-worth individuals, aspirational consumers, and watch enthusiasts, the market has witnessed steady demand for premium timepieces from globally renowned brands such as Rolex, Omega, TAG Heuer, and Patek Philippe. These watches are not merely functional accessories; they are symbols of craftsmanship, status, and personal style.

One of the key characteristics of the Australian luxury watch market is its strong foundation in analog watches, which dominate sales across the country. Consumers in Australia place a high value on tradition, mechanical complexity, and heritage factors that analog watches strongly embody. These timepieces are seen not only as fashion statements but also as collectibles and long-term investments. Despite the rise of smartwatches globally, analog luxury models retain their prestige and continue to outperform other segments due to their timeless appeal and enduring brand equity.

The market is undergoing a generational shift, with Millennials and Gen Z consumers playing a more significant role in shaping demand. Younger Australians are increasingly investing in luxury watches, not just for status, but for self-expression, sustainability, and as a financial asset. This demographic is tech-savvy, informed, and driven by social values, prompting brands to adapt their messaging and product offerings. Limited editions, collaborative designs, and pre-owned luxury watches are becoming more attractive to these consumers who seek uniqueness, heritage, and value.

There is also a growing interest in the pre-owned and vintage segment, driven by sustainability concerns and the allure of owning a piece of horological history. Certified pre-owned (CPO) programs and digital resale platforms have helped legitimize this space, making it easier for Australian buyers to purchase authenticated, secondhand luxury watches. This trend is further fueled by the idea of watch collecting as a lifestyle, with collectors often seeking out rare models or discontinued references that carry investment potential.

Despite the market's strengths, it faces notable challenges. One key issue is economic uncertainty, with inflationary pressures and interest rate hikes impacting consumer confidence. While affluent buyers remain relatively insulated, aspirational consumers who make up a considerable portion of the market are becoming more cautious with discretionary spending. Luxury watch brands must carefully navigate pricing strategies, promotions, and inventory management to maintain demand in a fluctuating economic climate.
