The Holistic Well-being Revolution: How GMG is Leading in the Health and Beauty Industry
In recent years, we have witnessed a seismic shift in consumer priorities, with well-being taking center stage. This isn't just a passing fad; it's a fundamental change reflected in the global wellness market, projected to reach nearly $7 trillion by 2025, according to the Global Wellness Institute. At GMG, we're not just following this trend—we are leading it with well-being deeply embedded in our corporate values and strategic vision.
Today's consumers are looking beyond traditional definitions of health. They're seeking products and experiences that nourish not just their bodies but also their minds and spirits. This holistic approach to well-being encompasses everything from physical fitness and nutrition to mental health and meditation.
Well-being is part of our DNA. We believe in providing an integrated health journey that covers all aspects of well-being. This journey begins with our diverse divisions; Sports, Health & Beauty, and Everyday Goods. Our diversified product categories promote comprehensive health and fitness for our customers and our message is clear: GMG is your family's well-being destination.
An Integrated Health Journey
At GMG, we believe in providing an integrated health journey that covers all aspects of well-being. This journey begins with our diverse divisions each designed to address different facets of health:
1) Sports: Our sports division offers a wide range of products and services to support physical fitness. From high-performance gear to fitness accessories, we ensure our customers have everything they need to stay active and healthy.
2) Health & Beauty: Our Health & Beauty portfolio includes a comprehensive selection of skincare, personal care, and wellness products. We offer exclusive brands that provide high-quality solutions for various skin types and beauty needs, ensuring our customers feel good inside and out.
3) Everyday Goods: We provide everyday essentials that contribute to overall well-being. From nutritious food options to health supplements, our products support a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
To meet these evolving needs, we've implemented several strategic initiatives. We're rapidly expanding our GMG well-being concepts, including Supercare Pharmacy, Arabella, and Good Health, making health-related products more accessible than ever. Our Health & Beauty portfolio comprises over 100+ stores across the UAE. We’ve opened 14 stores in the past 12 months, with five more in the pipeline for the year. This initiative brings our vision of holistic health to more communities, ensuring that quality well-being products are within reach.
Exclusive Brands for Exclusive Care
A key differentiator for GMG in the market is our portfolio of exclusive brands, that are sourced from around the globe. Additionally, we have developed our own line of products that are available only through our stores, ensuring that our customers receive unique and high-quality solutions tailored to their specific needs. These exclusive brands are designed with the latest scientific research and customer feedback in mind, ensuring they meet the highest standards of efficacy and safety.
Well-being Woven into Corporate Strategy
Well-being is embedded in our DNA, and we advocate it not just externally but also internally. Under the GMG Cares banner, we have various initiatives and programs like yoga, health workshops, and sports activities. These initiatives create an active community and foster a culture of good health. For example, our recent mental health awareness campaign targeted our 10,000+ employees, providing them with valuable resources for ongoing support. This initiative demonstrates our commitment to making a meaningful impact on our team's well-being.
We also provide a comprehensive vitamin and food supplements selection catering to every life stage, from children to adults and older people. Our Supercare pharmacy stores offer a wide range of vitamins for the entire family in every phase of their lives, recognizing that nutritional needs change over time. We also offer on-the-spot consultations at our pharmacies, providing customers with expert advice. This personalized approach ensures our customers receive products and solutions tailored to their individual health needs.

Making Healthcare Accessible with Omnichannel Integration
To stay competitive in 2024, we're embracing the digital revolution in retail. With a dramatic shift towards online purchasing post-COVID, an omnichannel strategy is a priority for any retailer. This model is supported by data from eCommerceDB, which reveals that the UAE's e-commerce market revenue is expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.7% between 2024 and 2028, highlighting a significant shift towards digitalization.
Today, GMG customers can order products by dialing 800-SUPER, or through major quick commerce (Q-commerce) platforms across the UAE. Through our holistic omnichannel ecosystem, we are able to create a seamless integration between our physical and digital presence, ensuring that our customers have access to the products and services they need when they need them. This includes:
1) Physical Stores: Our network of over 100 stores across the UAE provides customers with convenient access to our diverse product range and personalized consultations.
2) Online Platforms: Our robust online presence allows customers to explore and purchase products from the comfort of their homes. Our user-friendly e-commerce platforms ensure a smooth and efficient shopping experience.
3) Quick Commerce (Q-commerce): Partnering with major Q-commerce platforms, we offer rapid delivery services, ensuring our customers receive their health and beauty products swiftly and conveniently.
By integrating these channels, we ensure a comprehensive and accessible healthcare experience for all our customers.
Embracing Holistic Beauty
The Skin and beauty category plays a crucial role in our well-being journey. In the UAE, the beauty and personal care market is thriving, with a significant share dedicated to skincare products. At GMG, we understand that beauty is more than skin deep. Our holistic approach to beauty combines top-tier skincare products with wellness practices that promote inner health, ensuring our customers feel good inside and out.
Our different beauty brands and product lines offer a range of solutions designed to meet diverse skin needs and preferences. From anti-aging serums to hydrating masks, we offer high-quality ingredients that provide visible and lasting results. Our commitment to beauty goes beyond product offerings; we provide educational resources and personalized consultations to help customers build effective skincare routines that complement their overall wellness goals.
At GMG, we’re not just riding the wave of the well-being trend – we’re helping to shape it. We are not just marketing or selling products; we’re committed to promoting a wellness lifestyle and providing our customers with the tools and knowledge they need to live their best lives.
