IMARC Group, a leading global market research and management consulting firm, has published its latest market intelligence report on the UAE Beauty and Personal Care Products Market. The UAE beauty and personal care products market size reached USD 2,694.7 Million in 2025. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 4,331.5 Million by 2034, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.25% during 2026-2034. The market is propelled by the notable growth of e-commerce, the expanding impact of social media, the rising focus on natural and high-quality products, and a wide array of product offerings that meet different customer demands in a competitive landscape.
The UAE beauty market is moving from counter-led selling to data-led, AI-assisted personalization. Faces, the beauty retailer of Chalhoub Group, partnered with AI beauty technology provider Revieve in December 2025 to roll out an AI-powered Skin Advisor across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt, available online, in the app, and in stores. This sits alongside Layla AI, a generative AI beauty coach built by Chalhoub Group and Faces. With the UAE ranked first globally for wireless broadband and internet usage in the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2022, shoppers in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah are well placed to adopt these tools quickly.

UAE Beauty and Personal Care Products Market Trends and Drivers
Demand is underpinned by e-commerce expansion. According to the International Trade Administration, the UAE’s beauty and personal care revenues reached USD 1.3 Billion in 2022, with e-commerce channels accounting for 24% of the total. Personal care was the largest segment at USD 518.8 Million, followed by skincare at USD 292.5 Million, cosmetics at USD 174.5 Million, and fragrances at USD 142.7 Million. Online marketplaces offer a vast product portfolio, from regional favorites to global names, which also fosters competitive pricing.
The market’s structural differentiator is the influence of social media. Internet penetration is high, especially among younger consumers, and platforms such as YouTube and Instagram shape product preferences and cosmetic trends. By May 2023, Freedom House recorded median download speeds of 181.79 Mbps on mobile and 220.61 Mbps on broadband, and influencers and brands increasingly collaborate on sponsored content that builds follower trust.
A third driver is continued product innovation focused on natural and high-quality formulations. Bayer introduced its Bepanthen Derma Skin Care range in the UAE in February 2023 for sensitive and dry skin, and Ghanya Cosmetics launched a cruelty-free luxury skincare line in December 2023 built around plant stem cell formulations.
Government Schemes and Regulatory Initiatives Supporting the Market
- GCC Standardization Organization (GSO) Harmonized Cosmetics Regulations: The UAE, as a GCC member state, operates within harmonized cosmetics regulations that standardize requirements across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Oman, Kuwait, and Bahrain, simplifying market access for beauty and personal care brands.
- World-Leading Digital Infrastructure: The UAE holds the top global position for wireless broadband and internet usage in the IMD World Digital Competitiveness Ranking 2022, the connectivity backbone for e-commerce, influencer marketing, and AI-driven beauty retail.
- National Digital and AI Agenda: The UAE’s wider push to embed AI across retail, logistics, and financial services provides policy backing for retailers deploying AI advisors, virtual try-on, and omnichannel personalization.
