Market Growth Factors
The growing young population of GCC countries is another driver for the growth of personal luxury goods? According to a report, 71% of the population in Saudi Arabia is under 35 years of age and there is an affinity to luxury fashion as a form of self-expression. Young consumers, armed with a high level of disposable income, actively shop online and offline for luxury apparel, accessories, and beauty products. The numerical dominance of this population group is creating a real impact on consumption trends, forcing luxury brands to rethink their marketing approach and develop personalized digital experiences.
One of the key factors driving the market growth in GCC is tourism. Qatar had 2.6 million international tourists in the first half of 2025. Tourists commonly shop in the flagship stores and malls of Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha, purchasing tax-free luxury goods and enjoying the hospitality experience of world-class hotels. Shopping is usually considered to be a standard part of the visitor experience as a souvenir or for personal use? In addition‚ shopping festivals and tourist-targeted marketing campaigns have encouraged demand for high-end fashion‚ jewelry‚ watches‚ and perfumes?
Digitalization and high internet penetration are major growth drivers for the personal luxury goods market in the GCC? As of the start of 2024, the UAE internet penetration was 9.46 million, while social media influence and online shopping are increasing. Influencers and creators endorse luxury goods, creating aspirational social desirability. Luxury brands leverage digital marketing, virtual try-ons, online video consultations, and exclusive online product launches to drive brand awareness and influence impulse and advanced purchase decisions, allowing for faster sales across digital channels.
