Market Growth Factors
Increasing trend towards green or sustainable packaging is expected to propel growth of UAE perfume market. The consumers are shifting towards recyclable or biodegradable packaging including glass, paper, and aluminum owing to growing concerns towards plastic reduction. Local perfume businesses in the region are using refillable packaging to offer sustainable and cost-effective solution. Minimalist packaging helps reduce the quantity of packaging materials companies use. Products with ethical ingredients such as organic flowers or natural oils can appeal to consumers who prefer socially responsible brands. These trends correlate with the global increase in demand for sustainable brands, and give an edge to companies pursuing such practices.
The growing tourist sector of the UAE is projected to be another market driver for fragrance sales. Dubai and other cities in the UAE have malls and duty-free outlets that provide high-end shopping experiences to their tourists. Arabic perfumes, including Arabic oud and attars, as well as specially-blended fragrances, are popular souvenirs and represent customary Arab cultural heritage. The international and regional brands have strengthened their expansion in the airports, malls, and duty-free stores, providing greater accessibility to the products and improving market growth.
The market for perfumes in the UAE is driven by the growing need for luxury goods. The UAE has a high number of high net worth individuals and expatriates. Luxury perfume brands include rare and expensive ingredients and elaborate packaging, seen by consumers as a status symbol. Luxury retailers attract wealthier consumers through the sale of perfumes in luxury malls and boutiques. Fragrances are another popular gift in the culture, and this sector is expected to show an emotional and social dimension to market growth. Other sources predict the entire UAE luxury market to grow to USD 6.7 Billion and that growth is reflected in disposable incomes and spending on luxury goods in general.
