How business is done in Iran
Population
About 89 million (2023), young but with a sharply falling birthrate and an aging trajectory; concentrated around Tehran and other large cities.
Language(s) spoken
Persian (Farsi) is the official and dominant language, written in the Perso-Arabic script; Azeri, Kurdish and other minority languages are spoken regionally. Persian localization is essential, and English is limited.
How business decisions are made
Relationship-, trust- and hierarchy-based, with personal rapport, hospitality and patience central and a strong bazaar-trading negotiation culture. The state dominates the economy, and international sanctions heavily constrain Western business, payments and technology access. Incumbents and state-linked actors are entrenched.
Effective marketing
Persian-language, relationship-aware creative; the market relies on local and messaging platforms (Telegram, and Instagram where accessible) amid restrictions, and Nowruz (Persian New Year, in March) is the dominant commercial and gift-giving season. Note that sanctions severely limit Western marketing and payments.
Similar countries
Regional Persian-speaking and Middle Eastern markets with cultural overlap, though access and sanctions make Iran largely distinct for Western campaigns.
