Irons in Saudi Arabia - New Market Study Published

Irons strongly benefited from rising economic confidence towards the end of the review period, with many consumers opting to update their irons as their disposable income levels rose. Irons also proved a popular gift for religious tourists to Saudi Arabia, with irons often offered at lower prices in comparison to their home country. As a result, irons saw a strong 13% retail volume growth in 2013 over the previous year despite household penetration being high at close to 100% of households in the last two years of the review period.

Competitive Landscape

Irons remained heavily fragmented at the end of the review period, with "others" accounting for 54% retail volume share. This is largely due to the widespread presence of economy imported brands. Imports increased dramatically from Asia during the review period, with "others" rising from just 43% retail volume share in 2008 to a peak of 56% share in 2011. However, the last two years of the review period saw the share of "others" decline once more as disposable income levels rose and consumers traded up to the leading brands.
