Cosmos Health Receives Regulatory Approval to Sell Sky Premium Life Products in $1.9Bn UAE Nutritional Supplements Market; Secures Initial Purchase Orders

CHICAGO, IL / ACCESSWIRE / March 18, 2024 / Cosmos Health Inc. ("Cosmos Health" or the "Company'') (NASDAQ:COSM), a diversified, vertically integrated global healthcare group engaged in innovative R&D, owner of proprietary pharmaceutical and nutraceutical brands, manufacturer and distributor of healthcare products, and operator of a telehealth platform, announced today that it has received regulatory approval to sell its Sky Premium Life® vitamins and food supplements in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) market, and has obtained its inaugural purchase orders.

Cosmos Health has obtained Consumer Product Registration Certificates ("Registration Certificates") from the Public Health & Safety Department of the Government of Dubai. Registration Certificates of this type are valid for 5 years from the date of issue, are renewable, and allow the free distribution of products in the UAE market.

Additionally, the Company is in advanced discussions with leading local entities and anticipates securing an exclusive distribution agreement based on the most favorable offer.

According to Insights10, by 2030, the nutrition and supplements market in the UAE is projected to reach $3.94 billion, up from $1.91 billion in 2022, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.5% during the period 2022-2030. This growth is driven by factors such as increasing health awareness among individuals and the proliferation of gyms and wellness centers in the region.

Greg Siokas, Chief Executive Officer of Cosmos Health, stated: "I am very pleased with the progress we have made over the past few months in penetrating new markets and increasing brand awareness. Our aspirations for Sky Premium Life, as well as our other proprietary brands, are ambitious. We aim to turn them into leading global brands, and the expansion into the affluent UAE market is another important step in this journey. We have successfully secured the crucial regulatory approval for the entire UAE region, including Dubai and Abu Dhabi, in addition to obtaining our first purchase orders. Additionally, we are in advanced discussions with leading local entities for an exclusivity agreement that is anticipated to significantly increase our revenue."
