INDIA-SAUDI RELATIONS India and Saudi Arabia enjoy cordial and friendly relations reflecting the centuries old economic and socio-cultural ties. The establishment of diplomatic relations in 1947 was followed by high-level visits from both sides. King Saud visited India in 1955 and the Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru visited the Kingdom in 1956. The visit of the Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to Saudi Arabia in 1982 further boosted the bilateral relations. In the recent times, the historic visit of King Abdullah to India in 2006 resulted in signing of „Delhi Declaration‟ imparting a fresh momentum to the bilateral relationship. The visit provided the framework for cooperation in all fields of mutual interest. The reciprocal visit by Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh to Saudi Arabia in 2010 raised the level of bilateral engagement to „Strategic Partnership‟ and the „Riyadh Declaration‟ signed during the visit captured the spirit of enhanced cooperation in political, economic, security and defence realms. In February 2014, during the visit of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to India (now King), a Joint Statement was issued. In November 2014, on the sidelines of G20 meeting in Brisbane, Australia, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi met with His Royal Highness Crown Prince Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (now King). King Salman congratulated the Prime Minister for assuming his charge and stressed deep bilateral relations between the two countries.

Economic & Commercial Relations: Saudi Arabia today is our 4th largest trade partner and is a major source of energy as we import around 20% of our crude oil requirement. During 2014- 15, our bilateral trade reached USD 39.4 billion registering a decrease of 18.95% compared to 2013-14 (USD 48.62 billion) mainly due to sharp decline in oil prices since June 2014. During this period, our imports from Saudi Arabia reached USD 28.2 billion, registering a decline of 22.42% over previous year whereas our exports to Saudi Arabia reached USD 11.2 billion registering a decline of 8.6% over previous year. Saudi Arabia is the 5th largest market in the world for Indian exports and is destination of 3.6% of India‟s global exports. On the other hand, Saudi Arabia is the source of 6.3% (2nd after China) of India‟s global imports. For Saudi Arabia as per data available, India is the 5th largest market for its exports, accounting for 8.87% of its global exports. In terms of imports by Saudi Arabia, India ranks 7th and is source of around 3.61% of Saudi Arabia‟s total imports.

Saudi Health & Beauty Exhibition held during 25-28th November 2015 at Saudi International forum & Event centre, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

This edition of Saudi Health & Beauty hosted 100 exhibitors and 147

international brands from 16 countries, including Korea, South Africa, France,

Germany, Lebanon, China, USA and Turkey amongst others. The show

welcomed more than 6,000 unique visitors and 58 hosted buyers from KSA’s

beauty, spa management and health sectors, who attended over 300 business

meetings onsite.

Saudi International Health and Beauty is Saudi Arabia’s first major international

Health, Beauty and Wellness exhibition. Co-located alongside the Saudi

International Sport and Fitness show, the event will promote well-being and

healthy living for the population of Saudi Arabia, whilst providing the perfect

platform for the development of international sport, fitness and health &

beauty B2B relationships. Organised by Reed Sunaidi Exhibitions, Saudi Health

& Beauty is powered by interCHARM – the leading event for the professional

cosmetics and equipment industries in Europe.

ABOUT THE MARKET

The Beauty and Wellness Industry 2007-11

Saudi Arabian Beauty Market, the Largest in the Middle East, Shows Double

Digit Growth

Strong demand for premium beauty and spa services due to relatively high

levels of discretionary incomein the KSA.

Beauty and wellness products and services market which is worth more

than US$2bn. The Saudi market is structured somewhat differently to other

similar sized cosmetic markets worldwide. The provision of personal care

services, like all services, is strictly segregated on gender lines, that is,

services for women and men are offered in separate facilities and by same-

gender staff.

The beauty product market is expanding strongly. In addition, experts

estimate the professional or services market is showing double digit rate

increase. The rapid growth of the hair and beauty services sector means that

many salon and spa businesses are very recent. An indication of the

newness of the market is that the first Saudi Beauty Exhibition took place in

March 2008.

Saudi Arabia is the largest hair and beauty salon (including beauty parlors,

ladies centers and barbershops) market in the region

Hospitals are now providing provide medspa, beauty treatments, cosmetic

surgery and women’s fitness services.

The cosmetic clinic sector has grown 10 fold in 5 years

Strong demand for weight related services and products due to high levels

of obesity

Hotels with their day and destination spas plus fitness clubs both for the

local elite and international consumers.

Diverse consumer segments - a young population (approx 60% are under 17

years), significant expatriate population plus tourists (more than 7m)

Social customs, such as many women at home who have time to devote to

their appearance.

Importance of special occasions, in particular weddings which are a multi

billion-dollar industry growing at 20% annually.

High demand for skills and training as salon work was traditionally perceived

by Saudis as low status employment. The government is now trying to

“Saudiise” (ie, replace foreign workers with Saudis) the beauty salon sector,

amongst others, by restricting the number of foreigners.

The Cosmetics Industry

In 2010, Saudi women spent almost SR9bn ($2.4bn, €1.9bn, £1.6bn) on

cosmetics, among the highest per capita sum in the world (some 300$ per

capita per annum). Analysts forecast that the market will grow by 11 per cent

year on year.

Leading brands include Procter & Gamble Arabia, Unilever Arabia, L’Oreal

Groupe, Beiersdorf AG & Johnson & Johnson. Retail leaders include Panda and

Carrefour supermarkets, Arabian Oud Co, Gazzaz, Mikajy and the Body Shop as

specialist beauty and cosmetics retailers as well as al Nahdi Commercial Group

in Pharmacies, and Al Sawani Group & Sara Corp in the Department store

sector.

Popular cosmetics brands are dominated by the international market. Leading

segments include Beauty and personal care (10m), Mass (5m) and Premium

(4m) cosmetics, skincare (1.5m), haircare (1.5m) and fragrances (3m).
