Competitive Landscape
Leading Manufacturers Consolidate Position Amid Moderate Market Concentration
In 2025, the top two manufacturers, Biotech Gulf and L’Oréal Middle East FZE, commanded substantial retail value shares of 17% and 15% respectively, for sun care in Saudi Arabia. The remaining shares are distributed among smaller players such as Al Naghi Co (3%), Galderma International SAS (2%), and Medical & Pharmaceutical Services MPS (1%).
La Roche-Posay Strengthens Brand Lead through Innovation and Expert Endorsement
In 2025, La Roche-Posay (L'Oréal) continued to lead the sun care in Saudi Arabia, a position reinforced by its esteemed reputation in dermocosmetics and high credibility among dermatologists and pharmacists. The brand’s Anthelios range, particularly recognised for its high SPF protection and formulations catering to sensitive and acne-prone skin, performs strongly across pharmacy channels, beauty specialist retailers and online platforms.
