MEA Beauty & Personal Care Products Market Analysis
The Middle East and Africa beauty and personal care product market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period (2022 - 2027).
During the COVID-19 pandemic, manufacturers and exporters were facing high competition to export their goods. Individuals have been using social distancing techniques and avoiding gatherings and outings, which has resulted in a decrease in on-premise sales through supermarkets and convenience stores as a result of the ensuing lockdowns and the closing of retail stores. With some of the world's highest smartphone usage rates, Gulf visitors, particularly the tech-savvy younger population, are increasingly using mobile apps to order hair care products. Companies that invest in cutting-edge technology like mobile ordering apps, self-service kiosks, and predictive analytics are more likely to grow their market share than those relying solely on foot traffic in the current and post-pandemic scenarios.
Over the medium term, the improving quality of life, the positive effects of beauty and personal care on self-esteem and social interaction, and the gradual consumer shift toward premium and luxury cosmetic brands are a few factors that are likely to propel the market growth during the forecast period. The increasing dental problems among children and adults, due to poor eating habits, and the rise in the popularity of herbal oral care products are the factors primarily driving the oral care products market globally.
Furhter, with the growing demand for organic ingredients, consumers across the world are inclined toward organic personal care products, which is expected to drive the market growth during the study period. Furthermore, the rising awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals and synthetic products is another factor augmenting the growth of the market. Most of the consumers tend to buy products with natural or organic labeling, which is driving the market growth.
