Global Sun Care Products Market is valued at approximately USD 10.7 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 4.0% over the forecast period 2022-2029. Sun care products are designed to protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. These products include sunscreen lotions, sprays, and creams, as well as lip balms and after-sun care products. Sunscreen is the most common type of sun care product, and it works by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering the sun’s UV rays. Sunscreens are classified by their sun protection factor (SPF), which is a measure of how effectively they protect against UVB rays, one of the two types of UV radiation that can cause sunburn and skin damage. A higher SPF indicates greater protection against UVB rays. The market demand is primarily driven by the factors such as, as disposable income increases, people are spending more on personal care products, including sun care products. Additionally, changing lifestyles, such as increased travel and leisure time, are driving the demand for sun care products, coupled as the population ages, there is a growing demand for sun care products that not only protect the skin from the sun’s harmful rays but also provide anti-aging benefits.

In addition, Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer, and exposure to UV radiation from the sun is a major risk factor. As awareness about the dangers of UV radiation grows, more people are using sun care products to protect themselves from the sun’s harmful rays which in return is acting as a major driving factor for market growth.
