Growth Drivers

Availability and Launch of Wide Range of Products

To cater to the needs of wide demographics, the cosmetics brands are launching a wide range of products that offer beautification as well as skincare.

Impact of COVID-19 on UAE Cosmetics Market

The UAE cosmetics market was severely affected by the unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of the lockdown, the demand for cosmetics dropped dramatically, as people were forced to work remotely to adhere to social distancing norms. As consumer behavior changed, home-care remedies replaced cosmetics products, which caused the market to decline.
