The North American region has emerged as the largest market for wrist dive computers globally owing 38.4% in 2024. The U.S. accounts for majority of the demand owing to the strong presence of recreational diving activities along both the eastern and western coastlines. California, Florida, and Hawaii are some of the popular dive destinations in the country which see heavy tourist inflows each year. This has encouraged well-established industry players to focus on this region for new product launches and expansion of distribution networks. Additionally, regional manufacturers such as Cressi, Mares, and Scubapro have been able to capture significant market share through innovative product offerings catered towards the needs of American divers. The pricing of wrist dive computers is also competitive when compared to other developed markets of Europe and Asia Pacific.

The Asia Pacific region, especially Southeast Asian countries, has shown most promising growth over the past five years. Countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Malaysia have witnessed substantial growth in their diving industries. Abundance of coral reefs across regions like Andaman Sea and Java Sea have boosted scuba diving tourism. Local tourism boards promote diving as a major attraction which is influencing recreational dive frequency. This has prompted global players to look at Asia Pacific as an important emerging market. Local manufacturers in the region have improved their product designs as well as built strategic tie-ups with worldwide suppliers to get access to key components and technologies. They also price their computers very competitively to strengthen their foothold in the lucrative and fast expanding Southeast Asian market.

The Latin American market displays high potential especially in coastal tourist destinations such as Brazil, Costa Ric,a and Cuba. Governments are promoting ocean sports to attract more adventure travelers. This offers opportunities for wrist dive computer brands to increase penetration through targeted marketing campaigns. On the export front, North American companies have been actively scouting for reliable Latin American distributors to strengthen their presence in this growing regional market. If sustainable tourism practices are adopted, Latin America is capable of emerging as a fast growing market for wrist dive computers over the coming years.
