After Sun Care Products Market

After Sun Care Products Market Outlook (2023 to 2033)

Worldwide sales of after sun care products are estimated at US$ 2.67 billion in 2023 and are predicted to reach US$ 3.73 billion by the end of 2033. After expanding at a sluggish 1.4% CAGR from 2018 to 2022, the global after sun care products market is set to exhibit faster expansion at 3.4% CAGR over the next ten years.

After sun care products are used after exposure to the sun to prevent the skin from being damaged and protection from tanning. Surging aesthetic awareness and growing adoption of personal care products by people around the world are projected to primarily uplift the shipments of after sun care products over the coming years.

Growing availability of different types of sun care products, increasing per capita disposable income, expanding working women population, rising adoption of personal care and skin care products among men, and surging focus on health and fitness are other trends that could boost after sun care product demand in the future. Sunscreens, after sun tan enhancers, after sun moisturizers, after sun lotion with aloe, and after sun cream for the face are some popular products in the industry landscape.

Rising awareness regarding the ill effects of UV rays on the skin, surging prevalence of skin cancer, and high demand for sunburn protection products are prospects that could offer moneymaking opportunities for after sun care product companies by the end of the forecast period. The influence of entertainment and fashion on beauty trends has been known to the world and now with influential personalities entering the personal care space, the competition for beauty brands is becoming fiercer by the day.

• In April 2022, Cay Skin, a sun care brand for all skin tones founded by model Winnie Harlow, announced that it had raised US$ 4.1 million in seed funding. The model stated that she wanted to create sun care that was genderless and ageless to serve all types of people and provide the best sun care products possible.

On the contrary, increasing availability of counterfeit products and lack of awareness regarding the same are anticipated to substantially hamper after sun care product sales in the long run unless after sun care product manufacturers come up with new strategies to combat this issue.
