Swiss watch industry exports fell for the second year
2、 in succession. Their value stood at 19.4 billion francs, 9.9% lower than in 2015. With this result, the industry has returned to its 2011 level and seen an end to the growth of 15% achieved between 2011 and 2014.

In units terms, watches costing less than 200 francs set the tone (-11.3%), with 2.1 million fewer tim

Europe and Ame

After two years of heavy decline (-25.1% in 2016), the value of this market has fallen by half in four years. China, on the other hand, recovered strongly thanks to a positive second hal

Singapore (-10.4%) was in line with the glo-bal average while South Korea (+3.7%) was one of the few countries to progress. The Midd
12、le Eastern markets were affected by declining oil revenues and weakened in the second half of the year. In Europe, only the United Kingdom (+3.7%), bene-f ting from the weaker pound sterling, stood out as an exception in the context of a clearly negative trend. Italy and Germany remained close to th

15、 While this may be estimated at around 1.2 billion timepieces, the export and import f gures are in fact higher because a product may be re-exported and therefore stated twice. However, this data does clearly ref ect the forces involved and highlights the global trends of the industry.The principal
