WATCH BATTERY MARKET REPORT OVERVIEW

The global watch battery market size was USD 39.55 billion in 2024 and market is projected to touch USD 66.54 billion by 2033, at a CAGR of 5.95% from 2025 to 2033. Asia-Pacific is dominating the watch battery market share in 2025.

A watch battery is a tiny, single-cell battery that resembles a button on clothing. Its dimensions are normally 5 to 25 mm (0.197 to 0.984 in) in diameter and 1 to 6 mm (0.039 to 0.236 in) high. The bottom body and positive terminal of the cell are made of a metal can. The negative terminal is an insulated top cap. The large number of applications of watch batteries such watches, cameras, calculators, hearing aids, etc. generate the demand for watch battery, and thus driving the growth of this market. The tendency of these batteries to age even when not in use unless stored properly is one of the restraining factors of this market.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Pandemic Hamper the Demand of Watch Battery to Market Growth 

Due to several variables, including end-user operating cost reductions and disruptions in the availability of spare parts as a result of sluggish manufacturing activity and logistical challenges, COVID-19 has been a significant inhibitor to market growth. Battery suppliers have taken further measures to guarantee their services to customers who have entered into long-term agreements with them. Vendors are choosing digital tools and adhering to the recommended preventative measures, which include social distance standards and the usage of protective kits in case on-site inspection and repair services are occasionally required by end users.

LATEST TRENDS
