Suncare - Europe - November 2011

Suncare - Europe - November 2011

With the UK market an exception, European sun care sales were somewhat sluggish in 2010, although increased consumer awareness regarding the damaging effects of sun exposure is a major positive market driver. The launch of value-added products combining cosmetic and protective benefits has also been a supportive factor. France remains by far the most valuable, with sales expected to reach some €401million in 2011.

New product development increasingly incorporates more skincare benefits, with many recent launches incorporating anti-ageing, antioxidant and nourishing ingredients, thus positioning sun care skus as beauty products. The general naturals trend is apparent also within sun care, with increasing focus on the development of products with botanical and herbal components and non-chemical filters....

With the UK market an exception, European sun care sales were somewhat sluggish in 2010, although increased consumer awareness regarding the damaging effects of sun exposure is a major positive market driver. The launch of value-added products combining cosmetic and protective benefits has also been a supportive factor. France remains by far the most valuable, with sales expected to reach some €401million in 2011.

New product development increasingly incorporates more skincare benefits, with many recent launches incorporating anti-ageing, antioxidant and nourishing ingredients, thus positioning sun care skus as beauty products. The general naturals trend is apparent also within sun care, with increasing focus on the development of products with botanical and herbal components and non-chemical filters.

According to TGI Europa, product penetration peaks in Germany, with 64% and 55% of women and men, respectively, using sun care. Take-up is lowest in France, with GB and Spain occupying the middle ground. The core consumer group is formed of women, 35-44s, the working population, the highest income group and larger 4+ households with children.

Some key questions answered in the report include:


  • European sun care sales were lacklustre in 2010, with the UK market putting on the best performance and seeing value sales increase by just under 5%. The general outlook for 2011 is, however, for stagnation or even a small decline.

  • New product development is increasingly geared towards combining cosmetic and protective features, with skincare benefits.

  • Product penetration peaks in Germany where 64% of women and 55% of men use sun care. Take-up is below European average in France, which offers the best opportunities to expand the current consumer base.

  • Use of sun care products is biased towards women, 35-44-year-olds, the working population, top earners and larger households with children.
