PROSPECTS

The use of digital screens creating widespread eye problems

Consumers in the United Arab Emirates are constantly exposed to digital screen technology throughout the day. All age groups, from toddlers upwards, are constantly exposed to screens from smartphones, tablets, television screens and bright advertising screens in and around shopping centres, to schools where students and teachers have to use iPads for school assignments from a young age and working adults who sometimes spend eight hours or more in front of a laptop or computer screen.

Allergies remain prevalent due to the country’s hot and dry climate

In the United Arab Emirates, prolonged screen exposure causing dry eyes remained a common problem. On the other hand, demand for OTC allergy eye care is largely driven by the country’s hot and dry summers and the presence of sand particles in the environment which encourages eye allergies to develop.

Internet retailing adds dynamism to eye care with wider offer

While sales of eye care stagnated through health and beauty specialist retailers in 2019 internet retailing managed to add dynamism to the category with consumers being exposed to a wider choice of products. Given the use of digital screens is also one of the primary causes of dry eyes this could also help to drive impulse purchases if the leading players are able to use online marketing effectively.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Eye care remains somewhat fragmented despite limited sales

Alcon Middle East continued to lead eye care, benefiting from the strong equity of brands such as Naphcon and Cusicrom, which are present in allergy eye care. These brands continued to benefit from their widespread distribution and strong reputation for their effectiveness.

“Others” gains share as internet retailing opens the market up to more products

Thanks in part to the increase in distribution through internet retailing the share of “others” increased towards the end of the review period with brands such as Visine and Clear Eyes increasing their presence. Limited distribution through chemists/pharmacies has served as a barrier to growth for some brands and therefore the digital space offers an opportunity for development with platforms such as amazon.

Limited opportunity for generics or private label

Consumers are more sensitive when it comes to products they use on their eyes and this limits the potential for private label or generics within eye care. Consumers typically prefer either Rx products, especially for allergy eye care, or will turn to well-known brands which they trust not only to provide the best results but also which will not harm their eyes.
