The Future of Suncare is a global market report that covers the latest innovations and consumer trends across the global suncare industry in 2024. Our global future of report identifies evolving areas, consumer attitudes, and important advances expected across regions like EMEA, APAC, and the Americas over the next five years and beyond.
The number of suncare products with added beauty benefits continues to grow, emphasising interest in skin protection and appearance. Mintel’s Thai Consumer Suncare Report discusses opportunities for sunscreen brands to highlight specific sun-exposure-related skin issues, catering to consumers seeking holistic skincare solutions.
Mintel expects that brands in the global suncare industry will promote the use of broad-spectrum sunscreens by highlighting the risks of visible light and infrared (IR) in addition to UVA/UVB. Additionally, there will be an improvement to expand the functionality of suncare, such as enhancing the sensory properties of suncare products by using ingredients with different particle shapes, resulting in ultra-light formulations that aren’t sticky or greasy.
The exploration of naturally derived sunscreen compounds, such as those extracted from algae or engineered by microorganisms, will continue to gain momentum due to their potential to reduce the reliance on synthetic chemicals.

There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.
However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.
When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
We have such a great working relationship with Mintel on lots of different levels. As an insight partner, they have helped us to develop our business planning in specific categories as well as supporting our creative process but they’ve also been super helpful with facilitating our events in their inspirational offices near St Paul’s.
They’re an innovative company, with a client-focused team that always delivers.
We’ve found it so useful working more closely with Mintel. They helped support our recent flagship event for our top suppliers by providing a really unique viewpoint on the future of online retailing.
Nick Carroll from their Retail Team was also an excellent panelist, sharing useful and actionable consumer insights. We definitely look forward to working with Mintel again on future projects.
Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.
When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.
The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
