The beauty industry in Iran has a 2.1 billion-dollar market; but 30 percent of it is under the domination of smuggled products. Products that are often cheap, low-quality foreign brands and threaten consumer health.
Meanwhile, 40 domestic producers without a factory operate in Iran and are entangled in obstacles such as insufficient foreign-currency allocation, a shortage of raw materials, and energy imbalance. This is while domestic production has not yet been able to meet the needs of Iran's domestic market.
Despite these challenges, large opportunities also lie in the export of beauty products. 46 million dollars a year is the share of Iran's beauty-product export market, a figure that, with policymaking and targeted support, has the capacity to increase.
Therefore, smuggling in the beauty domain is not only an economic violation; it is a barrier to national development and the global presence of Iranian brands.
