Wound care in the United Arab Emirates in 2026 is set to show robust value expansion, achieving AED23 million in sales with a 5% rise, outpacing regional inflation and signalling resilience despite a contraction in real GDP and sharp declines in tourism. This performance is largely attributed to a strategic focus on core adhesive bandage lines and premium product formats, which enables leading brands to defend value through price increases amid ongoing supply and cost pressures. The environment is attractive for established brands with strong equity, and retail consolidation maintains high barriers to entry. However, intensifying competition from Asian value retailers, rising price sensitivity, and a shift towards larger pack sizes are set to test existing business models, requiring a dual emphasis on both price-led and innovation-led approaches to sustain momentum. To succeed, brands must streamline portfolios for efficiency, differentiate through reliable performance and innovation, and adapt channel and pricing strategies to address the evolving needs of both resident and tourist shoppers.
