Weight management and wellbeing in the United Arab Emirates is set to demonstrate a strong appetite for new solutions in 2026, outperforming regional counterparts through rapid approval and uptake of the first oral GLP-1 treatment, which redefines the competitive landscape and redirects consumer focus towards pharmaceutical-based and protein-rich products. While overall value rises modestly to AED137 million, reflecting a 3% increase from the previous year, this environment remains attractive due to rising consumer expenditure, a growing population, and a shift in purchasing behaviour towards clinically validated, convenient formats. Success now hinges on aligning portfolios with evolving needs, especially among GLP-1 users, leveraging digital channels for personalisation and engagement, and prioritising innovation in functional nutrition, as traditional approaches lose relevance and e-commerce gains prominence.
