Saudi Arabia halal cosmetics market forecasts put CAGR at over 15% through to 2020

Research and Markets has added TechSci Research's Saudi Arabia Halal Cosmetics Market Forecast and Opportunities, 2020 report to their offering. 

The halal cosmetics market in Saudi Arabia is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 15% from 2015 to 2020 due to growing accessibility, rising consumer awareness regarding the benefits of using halal cosmetics, coupled with increasing willingness to pay more for high-quality halal cosmetics.
