PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Rapid store expansion and international tourist arrivals to support growth for mid- and high-priced items
Mid- to high-priced watches are forecasted to show robust growth over the next five years, underpinned by the rapid expansion of luxury watch brands and increasing international tourist arrivals. In addition, these products tend to remain better protected against fluctuations in the economy than lower-priced options.
Retailers will focus more on enhancing in-store experience, while consumers will opt for connected watches
Despite the growth of e-commerce, watch retailers in Malaysia continue to emphasise enhancing the in-store shopping experience to attract customers. In 2024, Tudor partnered with Cortina Watch to open Malaysia’s largest boutique in Pavilion Damansara Heights, offering an immersive environment where guests could explore Tudor’s iconic collections, including Pelagos, 1926, and Black Bay.
Rising living costs likely to prompt greater player investment in promotional activities
The continued increase in the cost of living in Malaysia, driven by factors such as rationalisation of petrol subsidies starting in 2025, is expected to result in higher prices for necessities, including food. To address these challenges, leading retailers such as City Chain Malaysia are likely to intensify promotional efforts to attract cost-conscious consumers.
