Middle East Watches Market Summary

The Middle East watches market size was estimated at USD 2.18 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 3.06 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 3.9% from 2025 to 2033. Growth in the industry is supported by a stable base of fashion-watch buyers, a cultural affinity for gifting, and consistent demand for mechanical and quartz models across both mid-range and premium segments.

A key trend in the watch market in the Middle East is the shift of buyers from pure luxury boutiques to multi-brand lifestyle retailers, as consumers increasingly mix premium Swiss pieces with accessible fashion and micro-brand watches, driving stronger turnover for hybrid retail formats in malls.

One key driver of market growth is the steady influx of tourists from regional countries and around the world into hubs like Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, where watches remain a high-frequency purchase. Tourist-heavy zones, such as Dubai Duty Free, The Dubai Mall, and Hamad International Airport, consistently convert visitors into buyers because watches make excellent gifts and are tax-efficient luxury items. This recurring tourist demand provides the market with a reliable, year-round sales engine that supports both mid-range and premium traditional watch segments.

Another driver strengthening the market is the rapid improvement of the after-sales ecosystem across the Middle East. Retailers such as Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons, Al Majed Jewellery, and Damas have expanded their certified service capabilities, while brands like Rolex, Omega, and Seiko are increasing the number of authorised service centres in Dubai, Riyadh, and Jeddah. Faster repairs, genuine parts availability, and dependable warranty processes have made traditional watch ownership far more reassuring encouraging customers to repair, upgrade, and repurchase with greater confidence.

Furthermore, the rising cultural interest in mechanical craftsmanship, especially among younger Middle Eastern consumers, is propelling the market forward. Communities like the Dubai Watch Club, events such as Dubai Watch Week, and the growing visibility of Arabic-numeral or Gulf-inspired limited editions have sparked enthusiasm for horology beyond traditional luxury buyers. This shift is boosting demand not only for high-end Swiss pieces but also for accessible mechanical models from brands such as Oris and Seiko, expanding the market base and contributing to sustained growth in the watches market in the Middle East.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
