With living costs on the rise, UAE residents are changing their money habits,
planning to increase savings and reduce spending over the next 12 months.
Consumers are aiming to save more through different ways including shopping with
store credit, using loyalty cards, and buying second-hand items.

According to Euromonitor’s latest survey on consumer spending, more than 7 out
of 10 – 72 per cent – UAE consumers say they feel that the cost of everyday
items is going up. Of those who agreed with this statement, 31 per cent said
they buy more items or shop more often at stores or websites where they have a
loyalty card/membership or a store credit card.

“While affordability is particularly important to consumers in the UAE,
additional factors are also considered before making a purchase. For example,
product quality remains a priority trait, with 32 per cent of respondents saying
they would rather buy fewer, but higher quality things. Brand loyalty also
remains relevant, as 34 per cent said they regularly seek strong/well-known
brands,” said Jana Rude, senior insights manager for consumers at Euromonitor
International.



The UAE is one of the world’s richest countries in terms of per capita income.
Therefore, the residents enjoy high disposable income.

As reported by Khaleej Times earlier, a survey by global HR solutions firm
Adecco found that nearly 7 out of 10 – 67 per cent – of UAE employees are
looking to switch their jobs amidst rising cost of living.



Dubai’s ranking in the cost of living index rose from 138th at the beginning of
2024 to 70th at the end of the first half of 2024. Similarly, Abu Dhabi’s rank
also rose from 164th to 75th in the index during the January-June period,
according to global database provider Numbeo. Mercer recently reported a rise in
Dubai’s ranking among costlier cities.

The Euromonitor International Voice of the Consumer Lifestyles Survey 2024 found
that 57 per cent of consumers, including 60 per cent of Gen Z, are expected to
increase their savings over the next 12 months while 20 per cent are expected to
decrease their spending on overall purchases of products and services over the
same period. Baby boomers and Gen Z are most likely to fix instead of replacing
broken items, with 64 per cent of them willing to buy used or second-hand items.

Pressured by rising prices for food, energy, fuel and other products, consumers
are looking for ways to better manage their household spending, with
cost-cutting a key priority. Around 34 per cent of respondents, including 33 per
cent of baby boomers, said they like to find bargains.

However, the study found that millennials feel the strongest about the
importance of spending money on experiences with 96 per cent looking for
personalised and tailored shopping experiences, according to Euromonitor’s Voice
of the Consumer Lifestyles Survey 2024.

Nearly 86 per cent of respondents, including 88 per cent of Gen X donate used
items to a charity or non-profit at least once on an annual basis. This
generation is also willing to spend their money instead of saving.

Gen X is seeking personalised shopping experiences with 46 per cent saying they
enjoy spending their money, and 74 per cent said they want products and services
that are uniquely tailored to them.

While there is an increased focus on saving, the Euromonitor International Voice
of the Consumer Lifestyles Survey 2024 study found that consumers in UAE
prioritise spending on education, with nearly half of them planning to increase
over the next 12 months.

It showed that 49 per cent of respondents, including 44 per cent of Gen Z, are
expected to increase their education spending over the next 12 months. Among
these consumers, 44 per cent said they expect to study or train to advance their
current career.

Research showed that 48 per cent of consumers are also aiming to increase
spending on health and wellness, 45 per cent on groceries and 44 per cent on new
technology.

SAVINGS OF UP TO DH77,000: HIGH RENTS IN DUBAI SEE SOME TENANTS MOVE TO SHARJAH,

WHY SOME UAE STUDENTS EXPERIENCE STRESS, ANXIETY AFTER LONG SUMMER BREAK


LOOK: ABU DHABI CROWN PRINCE ARRIVES IN INDIA; SET TO MEET PM MODI TODAY

Many tenants in Dubai are moving to Sharjah and northern emirates due to
increase in rents, increased quality developments, and hybrid work arrangements
that offer more locational flexibility to employees.

This is the third cycle, akin to the previous two cycles of 2009 and 2014, where
tenants are locating to northern emirates to beat rising rentals. Industry
executives suggest that tenants can save around Dh77,000 by relocating due to
rental differentials.



Rents in Dubai, Sharjah and Northern Emirates have exponentially increased in
the post-pandemic period as the population grew in the UAE, attracted by job
opportunities in various sectors. However, rents in Dubai are more than double
of neighbouring northern emirates.

Stay up to date with the latest news. Follow KT on WhatsApp Channels.



Renting a studio in Dubai ranges between Dh30,000 to Dh70,000 per annum while
one-bedroom costs between Dh50,000 to Dh130,000. In Dubai, Deira, International
City, Sports City and Jumeirah Village are the most affordable areas while Palm
Jumeirah, Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and Downtown are the
costliest areas to rent an apartment.

In Sharjah, rents for studios cost between Dh12,000 to Dh40,000 and one-bedroom
apartments from Dh14,000 to Dh55,000 a year. In the northern emirates of Ajman,
Umm Al Quwain, Fujairah and Ras Al Khaimah, studios and one-bedroom cost
Dh12,000-Dh34,000 a year and one-bedroom around Dh15,000-Dh50,000.

“Similar to previous periods of market growth, we observed an increase in
tenants relocating from Dubai to the northern emirates, driven primarily by
affordability. Many long-term tenants are facing significant rent hikes in their
current homes, particularly following the update of the Real Estate Regulatory
Authority (Rera) rental calculator in March 2024. Although rental rates are
rising in the northern emirates, they are still significantly lower than most
Dubai communities, with the added benefit of typically larger unit sizes,” said
James Joughin, executive director for advisory and valuation at Asteco.

Beyond rental pressures, he said several other factors also contribute to this
migration including job growth in the northern emirates, fuelled by economic
expansion; increased availability of quality developments and master-planned
communities; and hybrid work arrangements offering more locational flexibility.

Jonathan Jackson, property consultant at Huspy, said overall, living costs in
Dubai are higher compared to Sharjah. “If you work in Dubai but live in Ajman or
Ras Al Khaimah, fuel costs rise, but rent and food are generally lower, offering
a more balanced cost of living.”

For example, in Business Bay, three-bedroom apartments averaged over Dh200,000
and studios at over Dh55,000.

In contrast, Sharjah offers significantly lower rents, with three-bedroom villas
listed at around Dh100,000 and some as low as Dh90,000.

For those driving a V8 SUV with an average fuel consumption of 6 litres per
kilometre, a 200km daily commute would cost about Dh93 per day, totalling
Dh33,000 annually. If adding the cost of a 3-bedroom villa and the SUV, annual
expenditure would be around Dh123,000, excluding food and utilities.

However, in Dubai, a three-bedroom apartment alone may cost over Dh200,000 in
some places; hence, the overall living cost in the emirate is higher.

Some Dubai tenants are relocating to Ras Al Khaimah as well, which is over 110km
from Downtown. This is attributed to the increase in quality developments and
improved physical and social infrastructure.


WHO IS MIGRATING

Jackson added that precise data on the income bracket of salaried individuals in
the northern emirates is not fully transparent, however, it is estimated that
the average person renting a three-bedroom apartment in Sharjah or Ajman earns
between Dh7,000 and Dh15,000 per month.

“These areas also have their share of long-term residents, including wealthy
individuals who have lived there for many years and prefer not to relocate.
You’ll notice a decrease in the population of western expatriates as you move
into these emirates, with a more prominent presence of South Asians, Africans,
and Arabs. Ajman and Sharjah also have a significant number of Emiratis, many of
whom have lived there throughout their lives,” added Jackson.

James Joughin of Asteco stated that it appears that most of those individuals
and families in the lower-to-mid income bracket are migrating to the northern
emirates because of significantly lower housing costs compared to Dubai; school
fees, which constitute a notable portion of the cost of living for families,
tend to be lower in the northern emirates compared to Dubai; and the rise of
remote work has enabled some professionals to relocate to areas with a lower
cost of living while maintaining their employment in Dubai.

“Some individuals may be seeking a change of pace or lifestyle, while others may
have specific job opportunities in the northern emirates,” added Joughin.

IMPACT OF RISING TRAFFIC

After the summer holidays, traffic between Dubai and the northern emirates has
increased dramatically due to the reopening of schools and the return of
families from long holiday breaks. This is prompting some tenants to think of
relocating, but it is not a primary deterrent, say industry executives.

“Whilst the commute between Sharjah/Ajman and Dubai remains a consideration for
potential movers, it is not a primary deterrent. For many, the financial
advantages, improved infrastructure, lifestyle preferences and long-term outlook
of the northern emirates continue to outweigh the traffic challenges. The rise
of remote work and hybrid work models has reduced the need for daily commutes
for many individuals, enabling them to live in more affordable locations while
retaining their employment in Dubai,” said Joughin.

Jackson said that some residents have returned to Dubai due to the extensive
traffic congestion experienced in other emirates, with some spending over 1.5
hours daily in traffic.

“Ultimately, the choice depends on whether one values financial saving or the
comfort and efficiency of urban living,” he concluded.
