GCC Fine Fragrances Market Dynamics

This section deals with understanding the market drivers, advantages, opportunities, restraints, and challenges. All of this is discussed in detail below:

Drivers

• Increasing demand for natural fragrances

Natural fragrances offer a range of benefits over synthetic fragrances. They are free of harmful chemicals and toxins that can cause allergies and other health problems. They also have a more complex scent profile and can be used to create unique and subtle fragrances.

There is an increasing demand for natural fragrances and ingredients owing to a rise in consumers' concern about their health and prevalent fear of allergies, leading to demand for natural fragrances. Natural perfumes and fragrances offer various advantages. They easily blend with the skin, are more suitable for sensitive skin, and are an important product in many individuals' skincare routines, especially for females. These are made using distilled or normal water and flowers, fruits, saps, seeds, or from the bark, leaves, roots, resins, or wood of trees. Therefore, manufacturers are focusing on product diversification as consumers prefer innovative products with natural ingredients that do not contain any chemical synthetic fragrance material.

• Easy availability of inexpensive body splashes, body mists, and cologne body sprays

The rising demand for fragrances and the growing application of fine fragrances in various bathrooms and personal care products such as body splashes, mists, body sprays, deodorants, and many others are expected to drive the demand for fine fragrances soon.

In addition, the easy availability of inexpensive body splashes, body mists, and cologne body sprays will drive market growth. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of lighter-scented products, particularly among millennials, boosts the overall market's growth.

Gulf countries may be synonymous with luxury, but there's a gap in the fragrances market for lower-cost products. Therefore, various companies have been offering these fragrance products at affordable prices.

Confetti's body spray range contains fresh and fruity fragrance notes to appeal to Western consumers and more traditional Arabic scents, such as its maple spray for women and the riggs oud sprays for men.

Opportunities

• Heavy investments in R&D

Large-scale companies and key players invest heavily in R&D and advertisements to influence consumer buying behavior and gather more consumers to buy their products. Companies are spending more on developing digital footprints by uploading videos and photos regularly through their social handles and interacting with client’s online, hosting social media campaigns, and celebrity endorsements.

Moreover, these companies are focusing on adopting new technologies to stay ahead of the competition in the market.

For instance,

• In June 2020, Givaudan launched Vivascentz, a new and exclusive technology that will assist creative teams to develop fragrances with well-being benefits, which can be used in fine fragrance, personal care, and home use products and fabric care

This tool measures overall well-being in psychological and physiological contexts. This project was tested on over 2000 consumers to confirm that scents created using this technology positively affect the overall well-being of the user.

• Rising spending on digitalization of the retail industry

During COVID-19, sales of fragrance products dropped due to the closure of departmental stores, airport stores, and specialty stores and the unavailability of products due to the transportation ban. Offline sales significantly dropped as people feared leaving their houses and places. Moreover, consumers shifted to online distributors and e-Commerce sites to purchase these fine fragrance products.

Therefore, most industrial players are entering the supply-chain agreement with various e-commerce players to boost their businesses as the e-commerce companies handle product sales through the non-store channel and help save little cost on marketing. Investments by industrial players in strategic collaboration and strengthening the supply chain ensure a dependable stream of quality ingredients.

People consume content differently while viewing information online. Key players are changing their content strategies accordingly. Video-based content is applauded more by a consumer, as it makes it easier to learn about the functioning and utility of the product.

Restraints/Challenges

• Compliance with quality and regulatory standards

The fragrance industry faces a legal obligation to abide by the norms and standards of various regulatory bodies. These regulatory standards are imposed in each country, with a common goal of ensuring the safety of the consumers. These regulations set by different countries also emphasize the usage of fragrances and proper labeling of consumer products.

These stringent regulations can delay or prevent the launch of new products, increase the prices of new products, and lead to product recalls. Therefore, implementing and modifying new regulations negatively affect the market's growth.

Therefore, compliance with various recommendations, quality, and standards regulations hinder the production and marketing of a product, which poses a challenge to the growth of the GCC fine fragrances market.

• Rising concerns regarding the use of toxic contents

Countless products, including artificial candles, cleaners, air fresheners, colognes, and perfumes, fill people's residences and daily routines. Altering demand patterns of consumers has led the fragrances market to attain significant momentum over the past few years. Most consumers and manufacturers have been shifting their preferences towards natural fragrances because of concerns related to toxic contents in synthetic fragrances.

These synthetic fragrances or perfumes are expected to have negative health effects on users and the environment. Many synthetic fragrance chemicals are petroleum-based and can harm human health. Chemicals found in fragrances include phthalates, which are endocrine disruptors, and carcinogens benzophenone and styrene. In addition, some children and adults have allergic reactions to fragrance chemicals. Asthmatic children are at especially high risk. About 95% of chemicals used in synthetic fragrances are derived from crude petroleum oil. They also contain various carcinogenic chemical additives such as benzene derivatives, aldehydes, toluene, and many other toxic substances linked to congenital disabilities, allergies, cancer, nervous system disorders, and more.

Moreover, according to the Breast Cancer Fund, when it comes to preventing cancer, avoiding synthetic fragrances is one of the main ways to help yourself. That's because the dangers of synthetic scents include hormone-disrupting phthalates and synthetic musk.

Recent Developments

• In September 2022, Parfex initiated to welcome the customer to the Beautyworld Middle-East, in Dubai. The teams welcomed the customers at booth F26 hall 4 to discover the new collection of fragrances specially developed for the event.
