Impact of COVID-19 on GCC Air Freshener Market

COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the GCC air freshener market. It resulted in reduced production and disruptions in supply chains. This has led to limited product availability throughout the period spanning 2020 and 2021. Consequently, revenues have experienced a significant decline during this timeframe, primarily due to reduced purchasing power among most consumers. However, certain market segments have shown resilience, likely driven by increased usage among consumers who prioritize hygiene and health safety protocols in response to the pandemic. Additionally, stringent restrictions on international trade have presented challenges for several producers in importing essential raw materials necessary for manufacturing various types of fragrances or aerosol sprays within the GCC.

Escalating Geopolitical Tensions in Middle East

Effects of the raging Israel-Hamas war on the GCC air freshener market are primarily driven by uncertainties and instability in the Middle East region. The GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries are known for their economic stability and strong ties to the Middle East region. When conflicts like the Israel-Hamas war occur in the Middle East, they can have ripple effects on the GCC air freshener market: supply chain disruptions due to the conflict can lead to delays and increased costs in importing raw materials and components, potentially affecting availability and pricing. Moreover, consumer confidence may decline amid regional instability, potentially reducing demand, and fluctuations in currency exchange rates could impact pricing and profit margins. Also, regional economic stability, critical for trade and commerce, can be disrupted, indirectly influencing the GCC air freshener market.

GCC Air Freshener Market – By Type

By product, the GCC air freshener market is divided into Sprays/Aerosols, Electric Air Fresheners, Gels Air Fresheners, and Candles Air Fresheners segments. The sprays/aerosols segment holds the highest share in the GCC air freshener market during the forecast period by type. This prevalence of aerosol sprayers is attributed to an increasing demand for products related to hygiene and health, including air fresheners, repellents, cleaning sprays, and similar items. It is worth noting that the escalating carbon footprint resulting from the use of aerosol sprays has become an unavoidable concern. Consequently, companies are actively engaged in the development of natural air fresheners as an eco-friendly alternative. Among all available variants, aerosol air fresheners currently enjoy the broadest usage. Also, deodorizing blocks have been specifically designed for restroom and urinal applications.
