Affluent groups are attracted by premium products while low-income expatriates prefer lower-priced offerings. In 2022, most products had fully recovered from the COVID-19 pandemic and benefited from a rising health and wellness trend, largely fuelled by social media.
Beauty and personal care is performing well in 2022, with all categories registering positive growth. This is due to an increase in social occasions post pandemic and a greater emphasis on personal grooming and self-care.
Most families purchase nappies/diapers/pants for their babies, with modern packaged baby and child-specific products also increasing in popularity. Aside from Bedouin women, who typically only wear make-up for special occasions such as weddings, most women in Kuwait wear colour cosmetics on a daily basis, while also often dying their hair.
Kuwait is home to a wealthy local community, with many Kuwaitis attracted by premium products and indulgent experiences. Many consumers have elaborate beauty and personal care regimes, with significant spending on professional services and the use of numerous specialised and luxury products.
Retailing is well-developed in the country, with shopping being the most popular leisure activity. Kuwait is home to numerous shopping malls and many others in the development pipeline.
In 2022, Kuwait's economy grew by 8%, with a 2% projected average increase each year until 2027. As inflation decreases, consumers may have more purchasing power, potentially leading to higher spending on beauty and personal care products, especially among the affluent population.
