Executive summary
Prosperity in the Middle East region
The Middle East region saw phenomenal growth over the review period thanks to high oil prices and a booming tourism sector. The UAE has stood out amongst the Arab nations due to good governance and economic liberalisation. This coupled with a safe working environment, an excellent infrastructure and a high standard of living has ensured that Dubai and the other Emirates continue to attract expatriates to the region. The population in the UAE steadily increased by approximately 8% annually (the highest in the region) to almost 4.5 million and is expected to rise even further.
Unprecedented growth in retailing
The growing population has fuelled the development of major projects in the retail sector. Dubai seems to have taken the lead being home to almost 75% of new retail projects. In this competitive environment major brands are tying up with hypermarkets, supermarkets and general stores to make their products more visible to the consumers. Hypermarkets such as Carrefour and Géant are already established here. Other major outlets used by brands to sell their goods are Spinneys, Choitrams, Almaya Lal’s and the Union Coops.
Steady increase in demand for goods
Major brands selling goods saw a constant increase in sales during the review period mainly due to the increasing population and competitive prices being offered to consumers. The liberal policies of the UAE government have helped major international brands establish themselves in the market. Competing with them are local brands usually owned by prominent and established business houses in the region.
Demographics – in favour of brands
Almost 90% of the population of the UAE comprises of expatriates most of them are from the G.C.C region and South Asia. However, a significant percentage comprise of western expatriates mainly from Europe, Russia and the UK. They enjoy high wages and no taxes on personal income and are therefore encouraged to spend liberally on improving their lifestyles. This is an important factor and will continue to drive the sales of tissues, toilet paper, kitchen towels, household wipes and other household items in general.
Another important factor that will ensure continuous growth in the disposable paper products market is the fact that a large percentage of the working population is under 35-years-old. Although under-15-year-olds account for less than 26% of the total population, it is expected to grow significantly over the forecast period. The reason behind this is that more and more young couples are choosing to settle in the UAE and raise their families here. Already brands selling nappies, diapers and pants are emerging as the most successful in their category.
