Summary
The Global Beauty & Personal Care Industry is a $444 billion dollar industry, which is estimated to grow at 4.2% per annum from 2016-2021. The
MENA Beauty & Personal Care Industry contributes 3.6% to the global industry revenue but is expected to grow twice as faster than the rest of
the world with a staggering CAGR of 8.5% for the same period.
Among the key categories that contribute a majority of the market size are Skincare, Haircare, Colour Cosmetics, Fragrances and Men’s Grooming.
Globally, the Skincare category dominates the market and as a brand, L'Oréal Groupe captures the largest market share. Contrary to global trends,
within the MENA region, Fragrances is the most loved category. The same is evident from the fact that two local brands, Arabian Oud and Al
Qurashi, control over 20% of the market share due to their appeal to the local masses and cultural significance.
Within the MENA market, while Saudi Arabia retains the highest market share with 33.2% , UAE stands higher in terms of spend per capita at USD
239. Despite the fact that UAE constitutes only 2% of the MENA population, the high spending per capita is a result of the strong consumer
confidence, high literacy rates and predominantly young population with a high social media exposure.
We see great opportunity for new players with the right value proposition to step in and gain market share weighing on the gradually shifting
consumer focus to quality products that not just pamper and protect, but also pay attention to cleaner and more organic ingredients, along with
personalized offerings so that wider audiences can love and appreciate them just as much. All of this, with an affordable price point has enabled
new entrants like KIKO Milano and Benefit Cosmetics to lure the millennial consumer away from luxury tags.
Internet penetration in the Middle East has far outpaced the world average of 51.7%, with the largest markets boasting over 90% penetration,
thereby having a tremendous influence on consumers aged 18-24. Being avid smart phone users, today’s millennial is more comfortable going to
the e-tailer citing lower prices, personalized offerings, and flexible payment methods as factors driving their preference.
Despite the high Middle East social media usage at 38% of total population and average internet penetration of 60%, only 15% of retailers in the
Middle East maintain an online presence, hence losing out on the 56% shoppers who purchase products online though their mobile phones. It is
interesting to note here that Health and Beauty sales contribute 48% of the Middle East’s online sales.
