Swiss watch exports keep accelerating, reaching one of the highest values in their history at 2.2 billion Swiss Francs.
The “other materials” segment gunned ahead, recording an 84.2 percent leap although its impact was moderated by its relatively modest market share of around 5 percent.
Most other markets also saw double-digit growth in September, particularly China, which had returned in the positive in July and grew a further 15 percent in September. However, the country still hasn’t returned to its pre-pandemic levels, still showing a 6.4 percent decrease compared to 2020’s figures.
The only pain point remained Hong Kong. Exports to the territory continued to slump by 2.8 percent, amounting to an annual decline around 8 percent, said the group.
