Industry development:

China is the largest watch producer in the world. China watch manufacturing industry has gradually formed a cluster development pattern with small and medium-sized enterprises as the main body, and private enterprises and foreign-funded enterprises have expanded rapidly (accounting for more than 70% of the total number of enterprises). It has formed six major producing areas in Guangdong Pearl River Delta, Fujian, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Shandong and Tianjin.

Mainly the rise of quartz watches and electronic watches, China seized this opportunity and threatened the high-end mechanical watch market in Switzerland. The Swiss government had to set up Swatch to produce electronic watches against emerging Asian countries. China is also a big producer of high imitation Swiss watches, and WeChat is the main supplier of high imitation watches.

Although the development of watch industry in China has made great progress, we can't ignore that China enterprises and their brands have little credibility and influence in the international market, accounting for 70% of the world output but only 30% of the world output. The problems in the watch industry are also obvious. Industrial transformation lags behind the upgrading of consumption structure; The structural contradiction of watch products is prominent.

On the one hand, there is a serious backlog of middle and low-grade products and overcapacity. On the other hand, the effective supply for high consumption is insufficient, and the high-grade brand-name products with high technical content and good quality still rely on imports.

Therefore, at present, China's watch industry needs to accelerate the pace of technological innovation and develop the core technology of enterprises; Strive to improve product quality and build domestic clocks and watches; Do a good job in product structure adjustment to adapt to market changes; Do a good job in the construction of staff, talent introduction and training. So as to improve the international competitiveness of China porcelain industry.
