GCC Fashion Market Size Booming to Reach USD 9.72 Billion by 2031

GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) Fashion Market is booming primarily due to rising disposable income, thriving e-commerce and tourism sectors, rapid adoption of digital transactions by growing youth population, and an increasing demand for luxury brands.

BlueWeave Consulting, a leading strategic consulting and market research firm, in its recent study, estimated GCC Fashion Market size by value at USD 7.34 billion in 2024. During the forecast period between 2025 and 2031, BlueWeave expects GCC Fashion Market size to boom at a robust CAGR of 4.1% reaching a value of USD 9.72 billion by 2031. GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council - Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) Fashion Market is driven by rising disposable income, a young and fashion-conscious population, and rapid urbanization. The region's strong affinity for luxury brands, coupled with the influence of social media and international fashion trends, fuels demand for both high-end and fast fashion. The governments' initiatives, such as Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the UAE's focus on the development of retail infrastructure, to diversify their economies and boost tourism further support the market expansion. E-commerce growth, fueled by deepening internet penetration and smartphone usage, has also transformed consumer shopping behavior. Moreover, increasing participation of females in the workforce and a shift toward sustainable and modest fashion are creating new opportunities for global and local brands, making the GCC region one of the most dynamic fashion markets in the world.

Opportunity - Thriving Tourism Sector to Drive GCC Fashion Market

The booming tourism sector across the member countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE) could significantly contribute to the growth of GCC Fashion Market. With millions of international tourists annually, especially in fashion-forward hubs like Dubai and Riyadh, there is a rising demand for luxury and contemporary apparel. Tourists often seek unique shopping experiences, fueling high footfall in malls and designer boutiques. Events like the Dubai Shopping Festival and Saudi Seasons further boost retail sales, attracting global fashion brands to expand in the region. The growing influx of tourists creates a dynamic environment that sustains and accelerates the growth of GCC Fashion Market.

Casual Wear Fashion Category Dominates GCC Fashion Market

The casual wear segment holds the largest share of the GCC Fashion Market by fashion category. The casual wear segment's market domination is driven by changing lifestyles, the growing young population, and increasing preference for comfortable yet stylish apparel. The influence of Western fashion trends, coupled with the popularity of social media and e-commerce platforms, have further fueled the demand for casual clothing. Urbanization and a rise in disposable income across GCC countries like the UAE and Saudi Arabia also contribute to the segment growth. Brands are increasingly focusing on offering trendy, versatile casual wear to appeal to fashion-conscious consumers, reinforcing the casual wear segment's leading position in GCC Fashion Market by fashion category.

Impact of Escalating Geopolitical Tensions on GCC Fashion Market

Escalating geopolitical tensions could significantly impact the growth of GCC Fashion Market, disrupting supply chains, increasing import costs, and shifting consumer sentiment. For example, the Red Sea crisis has rerouted shipping, increasing freight costs by over 300% in early 2024, affecting the timely delivery of fashion goods from Asia and Europe. Sanctions and diplomatic rifts, such as the earlier Qatar blockade (2017-2021), reduced cross-border retail flow and limited brand collaborations. Additionally, investor caution due to regional instability has slowed the expansion plans of global fashion brands in the GCC region. While domestic brands like Saudi's Lomar and UAE's House of Nomad have seen increased local support, luxury and fast fashion sectors face rising operational uncertainties, potentially leading to higher retail prices and limited inventory turnover.
