Rocky times and slow recovery for personal accessories

The United Arab Emirates retail environment has been in difficult economic straits since 2014, although the past few years have seen an improvement, albeit with only slow growth. Difficulties for personal accessories players have arisen due to high commercial rents and increased competition among retailers.

Luxury personal accessories takes a hit

Given that the United Arab Emirates has become increasingly connected to the global economy, it is expected that the retail environment will incur some risks related to growing trade protectionism, heightened political uncertainty and financial markets turbulence. Dubai relies heavily on tourism and travel retail and, given that the UAE dirham is pegged to the US dollar, a stronger US dollar makes it more expensive for tourists from countries such as China and Russia to purchase goods locally.

Highly fragmented competitive environment for personal accessories

In 2018, the retail landscape of personal accessories remained highly fragmented with a wide range of diverse offerings from international retailers available through various channels, such as hypermarkets/supermarkets, retail specialists like Zara or Splash and luxury specialists like Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons. There is a looming oversupply of bricks-and-mortars retail space and there is expected to be an increase in additional retail space.

Social media coexists alongside bricks-and-mortar stores

E-commerce is taking off, but bricks-and-mortar stores was still the dominant mode of distribution in 2019. Brand owners are using social media as a marketing tool.

Economy and consumer sentiment remains shaky in a mature market

Personal accessories is expected to record relatively low retail current value growth over the forecast period, with bags and luggage and watches expected to be the most dynamic categories. The overall market is a mature one and competition is continually increasing as new international brands enter the United Arab Emirates market every year.
