Sunscreen and sun care products protect skin from UV damage and skin cancer, and treat sunburn.
Key segments of the sunscreen and Sun Care market include product (Sunscreen, After-Sun and Self-Tanning) and formulation (Lotions and Creams, Sprays and Sticks).
Rising interest in appearance, social media, more affordable treatments and new minimally invasive options are driving the sunscreen and Sun Care market. More clinics and chains are opening in fast-growing cities.
Treatments for men, at-home options, digital consultations and growth in Asia and the Middle East give the sunscreen and Sun Care market room to grow.
Treatments are mostly paid out of pocket, results and safety vary between providers, and economic slowdowns can reduce spending on the sunscreen and Sun Care market.
The sunscreen and Sun Care market is moderately concentrated. Leading companies compete on product innovation, clinical evidence, pricing and geographic reach, and use partnerships and acquisitions to expand their portfolios.
