Retailers use active sales and promotion to drive revenue growth

In line most retailers’ expectations in the country, 2017 continued to be impacted by lower oil prices, regional and global macroeconomic factors impacting consumer confidence and expenditure patterns. Whilst many retailers report that growth tends to pick up during the last quarter of the year, mid-year months such as June and August were highly unsatisfactory.

Healthy and organic food products increase share of shelf space

Health and wellness trends impacted the wider services sector in the country including retail and foodservice. With more consumers inculcating healthy patterns into their lifestyles, demand for healthy food variants such as organic and free-form foods has picked up in the country, changing the way consumers shop for groceries.

Internet retailing sees milestone developments

2017 was a key year for the country’s internet retailing landscape as Amazon completed its acquisition for the region’s leading internet retailer souq.com, thus making an entry in to the fast changing e-commerce landscape in the region.

Brick and mortar retailers embrace digital trends

Whilst attracting footfall remained a challenge for mall operators during the year, mall operators have redefined the concept of mall from being a shopping destination to a more experiential destination, focusing more on increasing the share of space used by food and beverage outlets such as cafés and restaurants as well as investing in more engaging experiences. Digital advancements such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality are now eyed by mall operators to launch exciting experiences for mall visitors.

VAT to impact retail performance

With a macroeconomic policy focusing on economic diversification and less reliance on oil exports as lower oil prices have contributed to episodes of financial slowdown, implementation of a VAT in the United Arab Emirates is aimed at increasing state revenues to fuel these diversification strategies. A value-added tax of up to 5% will be implemented effective 1 January 2018.
