Increasing tourism activities
Rising tourism activities are positively influencing the market in Saudi Arabia. The Saudi Minister of Tourism announced that the kingdom recorded 30 Million international visitors in 2024, setting a new benchmark for the nation. Tourists often view luxury apparel as a part of their travel indulgence, and this demand is fueling the growth of high-end fashion outlets, especially in popular destinations like Riyadh and Jeddah. Luxury malls and retail hubs are expanding to cater to both international tourists and affluent domestic users, creating a vibrant market for designer clothing. The presence of international tourists is encouraging international luxury brands to establish flagship stores in Saudi Arabia, enhancing product availability. Tourism-related events, such as cultural festivals and sports tournaments, are attracting stylish audiences who prefer branded and exclusive fashion. Additionally, airport retail and duty-free outlets offer luxury apparel, further increasing tourist spending. With the government promoting tourism through Vision 2030, the retail infrastructure continues to improve, motivating luxury shopping. Tourists are also influencing local preferences, encouraging residents to explore worldwide trends. This blend of tourist-oriented purchases and shifting user habits is creating a favorable environment for the luxury apparel market.
Growing impact of social media
Increasing influence of social media is impelling the Saudi Arabia luxury apparel market growth. Social media platforms expose users to fashion trends, luxury lifestyle content, and celebrity endorsements, encouraging people to explore premium fashion choices. As per industry reports, in February 2024, Saudi Arabia had 17,254,100 Instagram users, representing 45.4% of the total population. Influencers and fashion bloggers regularly showcase luxury outfits, creating aspirational demand among followers. Luxury brands are employing social media to launch campaigns, display new collections, and engage directly with customers, making high-end fashion more accessible and desirable. The young demographic, in particular, follows style icons and celebrities who often wear designer labels, leading to a rise in brand consciousness and status-based purchases. Social media also plays a role in online shopping, where sponsored ads and product links guide users to purchase luxury apparel through brand websites or e-commerce platforms. User-generated content, fashion reviews, and unboxing videos are further shaping opinions and encouraging trial. As digital interaction is increasing, individuals are associating luxury with lifestyle and self-expression. The constant exposure to curated luxury content is driving the demand, making social media a powerful tool in expanding the market in Saudi Arabia.
