Growth Drivers

Growing Female Workforce and Disposable Income

Rapid urbanization and economic growth have directly influenced the disposable income of Saudi Consumers. The growing engagement of women in the workforce is one of the primary causes of this rise in disposable income. The nuclear families from the working class in Saudi Arabia have also followed this pattern. This allows consumers to spend more on their baby care. This has increased parents' spending power, which has in turn increased demand for better and more varied baby care goods.

Restraints

Presence of Toxic Chemicals in Baby Care Products

Many big corporations include toxic chemicals such as paraben, sulfates, and others in their baby care products to increase their efficiency. However, these chemicals not only harm the delicate baby’s skin but can be as lethal as causing cancer. Johnson and Johnson, for instance, faced a lawsuit, claiming asbestos, a carcinogen, was present in the product's talc-based variant. This prevents consumers from using retail-based baby care products and prompts them to stick with tried and tested traditional products. This limits the demand for baby care products and restricts the Saudi Arabia market.

Impact of COVID-19 on Saudi Arabia Baby Care Products Market

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic initially halted the growth of Saudi Arabia baby care products market. Although the demand for baby care products spiked during the lockdown period due to panic buying among consumers, the disruptions in the supply chain hampered the market growth and caused huge losses to the industry players. However, the market witnessed a notable shift towards online channels for the purchase of baby care products. The brands were also able to track market demand and supply the products accordingly, which significantly proliferated market growth.
