Middle East & Africa Deodorant Market Research Report, 2027

Deodorants are increasingly seen as an important part of the daily beauty and personal care routines of many Saudis, and as such, demand for these products should grow over the forecast period. As life begins to move towards normality, with an increase in social interactions and employees returning to the office, this should help to drive demand for deodorants. A perfume refers to the combination of fragrant essential oils or aroma compounds and the fixatives or solvents that give a person a pleasant fragrance. Deodorant, on the other hand, is a compound that is applied to the body to prevent body odor caused by the bacterial breakdown of various body parts. According to the report, "Middle East and Africa Deodorant Market Research Report, 2027," published by Actual Market Research, the market is anticipated to add up to USD 0.29 Billion from 2022 to 2027. The rising disposable income of customers across the globe is expanding their capacity to invest in luxurious products and services. This rise in disposable income is increasing the spending power of consumers on various products. Thus, the demand for perfumes and deodorants is estimated to surge during the forecast period. Further, people in the Middle East and Africa region are becoming more aware of personal care and are willing to invest more in personal care products and services, which is opening lucrative opportunities for the key market players. The high living standards in the developed nations of this region are creating more demand for deodorant products. In addition, the rural and semi-urban areas of South Africa could be a potential market for the key market players. Improved living standards and the surge in awareness regarding the benefits of improved grooming habits are expected to contribute to market growth. Therefore, the surge in the importance of personal hygiene and grooming is expected to be the major driver for the growth of the perfumes and deodorants market in the next five years. Consumers prefer the use of perfumes and deodorants as they give them a sense of individuality and can be used on a daily basis to enhance the effect of their personality on other people and themselves. The rapid urbanization of people in search of better job opportunities and improved living standards is influencing the demand for perfumes and deodorants, as with the rising standards, people become more aware and can afford the personal grooming fragrance products more easily. The availability of diverse products under different retail stores and the rise in awareness regarding personal hygiene are expected to drive the demand for the perfume segment in the next five years. Major companies are developing advanced technologies and launching new services to stay competitive in the market. Other competitive strategies include mergers and acquisitions and new service developments. For instance, Indian major Dabur is set to broaden its current product portfolio in the Middle East region, looking to expand geographically and increase its penetration across various ethnic groups. Dabur is focusing on its Middle East operations this year, with a strategic launch of a new face care range, a natural hair colour crème, and an innovative deodorant range for teenagers. Also, with the surge in female employment participation, there has been a tremendous development in the demand for personal grooming products. Furthermore, manufacturers' active promotional operations across various social media platforms will considerably aid the market's expansion. As a result, the market is expected to increase substantially throughout the anticipated period. Recent Developments: • In August 2018, Epic launched a new range of body deodorants in the United Arab Emirates for both men and women, which is available in all major stores in the country as well as globally. Key players dominating the market include Unilever, Beiersdorf, The Body Shop South International Plc, Bath & Body Works Direct, Inc., SA Designer Parfums Ltd., and Church & Dwight Co., Inc., among others. • In February 2018, Procter & Gamble announced the launch of their advertising campaign for their famous Secret brand products for the promotion of the deodorants with the tagline "All Strength, No Sweat." Through this promotional activity, the company aims to expand its product portfolio in the market. • In December 2017, Uniliver announced the acquisition of Schmidt’s Naturals, a beauty and personal care company that specializes in deodorant manufacturing. Through this acquisition, the company aims to broaden its beauty care product portfolio in the market. Covid-19 Impacts: The advent of the global pandemic, COVID-19, has resulted in a major crisis across the world. Impacting over 195 countries, the pandemic has already created a global economic backdrop, resulting in the advent of the global recession. With the rising number of cases, the growth of the deodorant market has been affected in many ways. The region of the Middle East and Africa is no exception. Deodorants are not deemed necessary products during this crisis, and, hence, their demand is anticipated to be low. Travel restrictions due to COVID-19 are certainly going to impact the growth of the deodorant market for some time. However, the impact of the outbreak on the market for antiperspirants and deodorants is anticipated to differ from country to country. Many countries that have flattened the curve of the number of COVID-19 cases are planning on reviving their economies by opening the market for non-essential products. In addition to that, disruptions in the supply chain due to trade and travel restrictions are further widening the demand and supply gaps. The closure of retail outlets due to lockdown restrictions is further negatively impacting the growth of the deodorant market. The decrease in consumer preference for maintaining grooming standards as people stay at home due to the COVID-19 outbreak is impacting the antiperspirants and deodorants market negatively.
