broader perspective to trend-tracking facilitates better decision making by
overcoming ' category myopia' . Monitoring the broader FMCG environment will
enable bigger picture learning that can be applied more specifically

important to 85% of UAE and 75% of Saudi consumers. Consumers have become more
holistic in their approach to health, placing greater importance on improving
welling through beauty regimes, positive nutrition, work-life balance and
personal hygiene
UAE and Saudi consumers are some of the most keen to try and follow a dieting
