Sun care stagnating in Western Europe

Sun care in Western Europe stagnated over the 2012-2017 period, which was mainly due to the maturity of the category. Italy, the UK, France, Spain and Germany are the biggest markets for sun care.

Adult sun care remains strong category leader across the region

Consumers increasingly spend holidays in their own country or safe holiday destinations. This has a positive effect on the value sales in leading countries including Italy, the UK, France, Spain and Germany.

The use of digital technology has positive impact on value growth

Digitalisation and technology continue to play a growing role in consumers’ lives, and this is closely linked to health. Moreover, with the proliferation of apps in conjunction with skin care brands, it is seen as an engaging way to interact with the consumer and create a unique experience, while having a positive effect on value sales.

Highly concentrated distribution landscape

Sun care products in most Western European markets are still most commonly purchased via hypermarkets/supermarkets or drugstores and chemists. Trust in a brand and habit of use are the two main decisive factors in the purchase of sun care products.

L'Oréal and Beiersdorf remain regional leaders

Top companies such as L’Oréal and Beiersdorf continue to lead the market. They benefit from their portfolios and heritage brands. Their growth is supported by the growing popularity of their dermocosmetic brands, such as La Roche-Posay and Eucerin, respectively.
