Global watch market: Launch of personal accessories by key competitors under the affordable luxury segment

With the limited supply and high demand for luxury watches, the prices continue to surge. However, considering the difference in buying power and customer preferences, the key market competitors are launching products that are considered affordable luxury. For instance, Kering's GUCCI brand decided to align its offerings with different urban classes in China. Instead of following the one-size-fits-all brick and mortar expansion. GUCCI adopted a tiered approach for its product assortment. In other tier II cities that are characterized by the presence of less affluent customers, less expensive leather goods and personal accessories hold a majority of the shelf space. Therefore, the market players have been catering to these trends by launching mid-level designer products. Some of the top designer brands catering to this segment include Michael Kors and COACH. Where high-end designer luxury brands offer products priced between 2000-5000 USD many brands are now offering affordable luxury watches ranging from 150-600 USD.

“Apart from the factor, key competitors offering products under the affordable luxury segment, other factors such as the luxury perception associated with watches and growing customization of personal accessories,” says a senior analyst at Technavio for research on consumer durables & apparel.
