'The Saudi beauty market – valued at US$3.82 billion in 2021 – is on track to exceed US$5 billion, driven by a digital-savvy consumer base and rising demand for personalised and luxury products. The conversations happening at Next in Beauty reflect exactly where this momentum is headed.

Later, a session on hotel spa innovation in Saudi Arabia explored the surge in demand for luxury wellness services and holistic self-care — a growing sector within the Kingdom's hospitality and lifestyle industries. 'Wellness is expanding into new and broader spaces—it's no longer just about relaxation, but about creating enriching experiences that address everything from sleep improvement to fitness enhancement,' said Charbel Watfa, Senior Spa Director MEA at Four Seasons Hotel Riyadh. 'We're seeing growing demand for longevity treatments and wellness areas dedicated exclusively to women. Sustainability is also a major focus. In our upcoming project in the Red Sea, Amala, we are embracing sustainable practices by planting our own ingredients and incorporating natural elements like sand into our treatments.'
