Executive summary

Iran has long tradition of cosmetics use

Iran has a very long tradition of using cosmetics and toiletries dating back to ancient Persian times. The most popular traditional cosmetics and toiletries used in ancient Iran were sorkhab, vasmeh and sormeh, which were made of natural substances such as animal fats or ash, with the addition of different natural colouring. Today there are still some places in Iran where such traditional cosmetics, ointments or fragrances are used, but this is mainly in more remote or poorer areas of the country.

Iran second in Middle East in cosmetics consumption

In 2008 Iran accounted for the second highest level of cosmetics and toiletries consumption in the Middle East after Saudi Arabia. This is because Iran has a very large population of young people who are more likely to use cosmetics. Wearing make-up has become an everyday habit for the majority of Iranian females, and is especially popular among the younger generation. In traditional Iranian culture only married women use cosmetics and wear make-up, but in recent years a Westernisation trend has led to unmarried women also wearing make-up.

Smuggled counterfeit cosmetics strong in Iran

As a result of long borders with countries such as Iraq and Turkey, who do not have strong and effective supervision at boundaries, a lot of cosmetics are smuggled into Iran under the guise of well-known brands. These products have satisfactory packaging and affordable prices and most consumers are unable to distinguish them from genuine products. It is estimated that more than 80% of Iranian cosmetics sales are accounted for by smuggled products.

Chemists/pharmacies and grocery outlets most popular distribution channels

In 2008 chemists/pharmacies represented the most significant channel for the distribution of cosmetics and toiletries. Distribution changed considerably over the review period, however. In 2008 most manufacturers distributed their products via the major supermarkets and hypermarkets, which was not particularly common prior to 2004. Iranians could thus find most branded shampoo and hair care, facial and hand care, hair gels, deodorants and shaving products in supermarkets and hypermarkets.

Future growth of cosmetics and toiletries shaped by religious beliefs

Iran has a large male population and thus offers a strong potential customer base for men’s grooming products. However, many Iranian men still do not shave their face frequently. Religious beliefs play an important role in the men’s grooming environment. According to Islamic beliefs, close shaving is forbidden, and in many governmental institutions shaving is banned for employees. On the other hand, using fragrances and deodorants in public is encouraged for men but frowned upon for women. These beliefs have their effect on sales of many niches in this environment.
