Beauty and personal care in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, beauty and personal care in Oman was shaped by several key trends, with the wellness movement standing out as the most influential. This trend drove the popularity of vegan and natural ingredient-based products, particularly within colour cosmetics, skin care and deodorants.
2024 key trends
Beyond wellness and multifunctionality, “value hacking” emerged as a notable trend in Oman during 2024. Consumers increasingly delayed beauty and personal care purchases to coincide with major promotional events, such as National Day, Omani Women's Day, Ramadan, Eid celebrations, and year-end sales.
Competitive landscape
Unilever Group remained the leading company within beauty and personal care in 2024. The company’s strong portfolio — including brands such as Dove, Lifebuoy, Lux and Vaseline — secured its position across multiple categories.
Retail developments
Modern channels, including in-mall hypermarkets and stores, remained the leading distribution channels within beauty and personal care in 2024. Oman's mall culture plays a central role in shopping habits, offering air-conditioned, family-friendly spaces essential for social life and leisure in the country’s hot climate.
What next for beauty and personal care ?
Sales of beauty and personal care are set to rise steadily over the forecast period, in line with the broader economic growth of Oman. Although the country’s purchasing power remains lower than that of other GCC nations, growing investment opportunities and rising disposable incomes are expected to bolster consumer spending.
