Expatriates Fuel Demand for Premium Beauty Products
Beauty and personal care in the United Arab Emirates demonstrated exceptional vitality in 2025, outperforming many regional peers due to its affluent expatriate population, which accounts for a significant number of residents and drives demand across premium and mass tiers. The category’s attractiveness stems from sustained economic growth, with low inflation and a steady GDP, thereby fostering confidence and increased spending. Local and international brands are successfully leveraging cultural nuances by integrating Arab identity and wellness into product innovation and marketing. This is exemplified by campaigns and products that are tailored to regional skin tones, traditional ingredients and religious occasions, such as Ramadan. The simultaneous rise of Korean beauty and Asian brands enriches product offerings and meets evolving consumer preferences. To succeed, brands must prioritise localisation, cultural resonance and lifestyle integration while embracing digital channels and experiential retail to capture the diverse and sophisticated consumer base.
