As expected, sun care fared much, much better in 2021 than was the case in 2020, when the category was heavily affected by the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. With lockdowns and heightened economic pressure, consumers tended to stay away from beaches, while outdoor activities were restricted, in general.
New product development and marketing activities tended to be delayed or postponed in 2020, as the demand for sun care fell steeply in light of the COVID-19 crisis. The pandemic situation improved in 2021, and consumers were more likely to visit the beach and parks, and for longer.
One of the most notable new launches within sun care in 2021 came from the strong category leader, Beiersdorf. The producer introduced the Nivea Sun Protect & Moisture brand line, which was advertised as offering instant protection from harmful UV radiation, while also being compatible with one’s skin microbiome.
Sun care is set to continue to stabilise in 2022 and see steadily incremental retail volume and value (constant 2021 prices) growth over the forecast period. Unlike in 2020, the category is not expected to face major disruption factors in the forecast period.
Manufacturers are predicted to continue to invest in new launches in line with the major trend of offering products that claim to be good for one’s skin health. This is why it is expected that most new launches in the short to medium term will carry and push such claims, with formulas perceived to offer benefits for skin care to the fore.
Sun care products tend to be fairly expensive for many consumers, who appear to be less attached to sun care brands, compared to their choices in many other areas of beauty and personal care. This creates space for the growth of private label in sun care.
