Complimentary Report

The global smartwatch market has been witnessing sluggish growth since late 2022 due to macroeconomic headwinds and geopolitical conflicts. Meanwhile, the aggressive product shipments of Indian local brands such as Fire Boltt and Noise, based on young demand groups, provided impetus for the overall market to continue to grow. However, at the same time, this also resulted in a decrease in the proportion of High-level OS (HLOS) smartwatches. Nevertheless, Counterpoint expects the share of HLOS-powered smartwatches, which can support the advanced features such as better health monitoring, deliberate fitness tracking, and 3rd party app supporting to grow steadily in future. This Excel report provides shipment forecast for smartwatches running High Level OS by brand and OS until 2027.

After steady and high YoY growth over the past four years, the smartwatch market has been showing some signs of slowing down since the late first half of 2022 due to macroeconomic and inflationary pressures. However, we still believe that there is enough room for more growth if market conditions become favorable.

Reports

Global smartwatch shipments experienced a 9% YoY increase in Q3 2023, building on the gains from the previous quarter. The growth in the quarter seems to be primarily driven by the surge of the Indian market which has been consistently expanding, the Chinese market boosted by Huawei’s robust performance, and Apple’s new launch of Series 9 and Ultra 2. By region, NAM is expected to perform weakly in 2023 with Apple’s sluggish performance, while China is expected to manage flat growth due to active volume push by OEMs such as Huawei and imoo supported by re-opening in China. Despite some inventory accumulation in the market, Indian OEMs are still aggressive in smartwatch shipments, which is expected to continue the high annual growth of the Indian market in 2023. The European market, which was affected by the Ukraine war, will still need more time to turn to growth, and demand from LATAM and MEA is expected to rebound from 2023.

The Q3 2023 growth was primarily driven by the surge in the Indian market, which has been consistently expanding, and the Chinese market, boosted by Huawei’s robust performance. Samsung and Apple launched new products in Q3 2023 which helped the HLOS smartwatch market grow 23% QoQ during the quarter, with a notable 9% YoY expansion driven by Huawei’s impressive performance. The dominance of HLOS smartwatches is evident in all regions except India. On the other hand, with the robust growth in the Indian market, the Basic Smartwatch market also experienced a significant 16% YoY expansion.

Global smartwatch shipments increased 11% YoY in Q2 2023 after declining in both Q4 2022 and Q1 2023. India’s shipments soared by 70% YoY, serving as the primary driver for the global market’s rebound. China’s market also recorded a modest increase. Besides, a shift in the competitive landscape was evident as Huawei ascended to the second position in terms of global market share.
