The Rise of Global Watch Micro-brands Driving OEM Demand
In the past two years, the trend in the global watch industry is that independent watchmakers and micro-brands are gaining more and more attention from collectors and young consumers.
The global watch market was valued at approximately $69.1 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach $96.8 billion by 2033, which reflects continued demand for both established brands and emerging independent watch brands, according to Grand View Research.
Compared with traditional famous brands that invest heavily in R&D and production, emerging independent micro-brands tend to complete product development and manufacturing through custom watch makers so as to lower the entry barrier and speed up the product launch.
At the same time, consumers are more preferring the personalized design, brand story, and differentiated products of watch brands to traditional Swiss luxury brands. This significant growth of niche brands is expected to continue in 2026, prompting more and more brands to seek customized watch solutions.
It is generally believed within the industry that professional manufacturing capabilities are gradually becoming a crucial component of watch brand competitiveness, and Chinese watch manufacturing industry, with its well-developed supply chain and continuously improved manufacturing levels, is playing a more important role in the global market.
