Executive summary

High economic and population growth expands DEA industry

There has been significant growth in Saudi Arabia in recent years due to high oil prices which has increased Government spending and improved the living standards for a number of households. The Kingdom's ambitious plan to dramatically raise investment competitiveness under its "10 x 10" programme will put Saudi Arabia among the world's Top 10 globally competitive investment destinations by 2010.

In addition Saudi Arabia has one of the fastest growing populations in the world. It also has increasing per capita income. There will be huge demand from the younger generations under 25 years of age who represent over 60% of the population. These younger people are increasingly becoming first time home buyers, which had previously not been the norm. Saudi Arabia is planning to build 1.5 million new housing units by 2010. Living standards for most middle and upper class residents in Saudi Arabia will also increase and these are people who are willing to pay extra for premium products. Examples of such purchases include the desire to own a home which contains domestic electrical appliances. These include ovens, microwaves, washers, dryers, dishwashers as well as small kitchen appliances such as food processors, juice extractors, and smoothie makers previously considered as frivolous or unnecessary items.

Saudis invest in larger as well as better quality domestic electrical appliances

A key trend over the review period was the increasing penetration of high quality kitchen and laundry appliances in Saudi homes. There has been a move towards built-in appliances, stainless steel finishes, high-efficiency front-loading washers and side-by-side refrigerators all of which have become increasingly common, with more Saudis consider kitchen appliances as an important investment in their homes. As a result, major household brands such as LG, Samsung, GE and others all have excellent market potential as consumers are more aware of brands and conscious about quality and aesthetics.

Greater demand for small appliances

In recent years, there has been tremendous growth in the number of large retailers who are offering small appliances with innovative features at competitive prices. The success of retailers such as Géant, Hyper Panda, and Carrefour created competition and drove prices downward for most small appliances. Therefore, many common kitchen appliances such as toasters and coffee machines are now available for under SR100. At the same time, a number of manufacturers, such as Groupe SEB’s Moulinex and Tefal with its iconic countertop mixers, have achieved success through offering very expensive "professional quality" small appliances through channels such as specialists and grocery multiples including eXtra, Electro, BEST, Géant, Carrefour and Hyper Panda.

Air-conditioners remains the largest product group in terms of value

Air-conditioners represents the largest product group in terms of value and it will continue to grow at significant rates in the future. The extremely hot weather in Saudi Arabia is the driving force behind the growth of air conditioners. The high temperatures, which last for almost nine months a year, make it impossible for people to be without air conditioning in their homes. As a result, Saudi Arabia’s air conditioning industry is growing proportionately with Saudi population growth at 4% per year. This product group is also expected to grow significantly in the coming years due to the boom in the housing market. LG continues to enjoy a major share in air conditioners and plans to increase it further in the future through its new plant in the Kingdom which is due to begin operations in 2007.

Saudi Arabia offers a tempting prospect for retailers

Due to having by far the largest population with any real spending power in the GCC region and with improving trading regulations, Saudi Arabia offers tempting prospects for major hypermarkets. Géant has plans for some 15 stores in the Kingdom within the first three years of the 2006-2011 forecast period. According to Carrefour Saudi Arabia, the company aims to launch more than 20 stores in the Kingdom over the next 10 years. These outlets are considered to be a one-stop shop meeting demand for groceries, clothing, and domestic electrical appliances.
