Hong Kong jewellery sales ended 2025 with a solid year-on-year increase, supported by improving consumption sentiment and economic growth.

Latest government data showed sales of jewellery, watches and clocks, and other valuable items rose 14.3 per cent to HK$5.32 billion (around US$680 million) in December alone. Full-year figures were likewise encouraging, recording a 1.9 per cent rise to HK$52.32 billion (approximately US$6.7 billion) compared to 2024.

Overall sales, including all retail outlets, saw a 6.6 per cent uptick in December to HK$35.03 billion (about US$4.48 billion) while full-year results edged up 1 percent to HK$380.46 billion (nearly US$49 billion).

The government noted the solid recovery in retail sales in December while January to December figures demonstrated what it described as a resumption of "modest growth."

“Improving local consumption sentiment underpinned by robust economic growth momentum, together with continued vibrant growth in inbound visitors, will continue to be favourable to retail businesses,” a government spokesman added.
