Overview:
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.

Overview:
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.
