The article studies the retail market of beauty and personal care products in the six countries of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). It identifies differentiating characteristics that influence the marketing mix of the 4 Ps. Those identified as critical for the marketing mix are: young population, high rate of expatriates, preference for premium products, influence of Dubai as a retail hub, role of tourism, and several others resulting from cultural conditioning. This study is the first attempt of identifying key factors that shape customer behaviors, underlie the demand, and influence potential of growth in the GCC market.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie cech, które wyróżniają rynek kosmetyków w sześciu krajach Rady Zatoki Perskiej i opisanie ich wpływu na kompozycję marketingową: produkt, cenę, dystrybucję i promocję. Bahrajn, Kuwejt, Oman, Katar, Arabia Saudyjska i Zjednoczone Emiraty Arabskie od kilku lat są jednym z regionów świata o największej dynamice rozwoju sprzedaży kosmetyków. Region państw Zatoki Perskiej jest rozpatrywany, jako jeden rynek gdyż podzielają one szereg wspólnych cech. Wiele z tych wspólnych cech wyróżnia znacząco ten rynek od innych kluczowych rynków kosmetyków na świecie. Artykuł opisuje szereg czynników społeczno-ekonomicznych, demograficznych i kulturowych, które wpływają na podaż, potencjał wzrostu i zachowania konsumenckie. Jako kluczowe dla kompozycji marketingowej zidentyfikowane zostały: niska średnia wieku, wysoki odsetek emigrantów wśród ludności, duży popyt na kosmetyki luksusowe, znaczenie Dubaju jako ośrodka handlu detalicznego i turystyki oraz kilka innych uwarunkowanych kulturowo.
