Self-tanning products, also known as sunless tanning products or fake tanners, are used to get a tanned or bronzed skin tone without direct exposure to sunlight. The harmful UV rays of sunlight can cause potential skin damage and increase the risk of skin cancers. This factor is significantly driving the demand for self-tanning products. Moreover, a rising number of celebrities embracing a tanned look is also expected to boost the adoption of self-tanning products, especially among young consumers.
In 2021, Europe held the largest share of the global self-tanning products market. The changing trends in consumer lifestyle and skincare routine are driving the self-tanning products market in Europe. The wellness industry in the region is gradually adapting to evolving consumer choices such as organic and natural products. Thus, manufacturers are increasingly using natural ingredients to develop self-tanning products. These factors are influencing the self-tanning products market. Moreover, the growing trend to attain a natural and glowing tan, especially in young adults, is anticipated to boost the sales of self-tanning products during the forecast period.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a mixed impact on the self-tanning product market, especially in 2020. Self-tanning products were not classified as essential products by governments of several countries, which compelled manufacturers to halt the production of these products. During the crisis, service providers in the tanning salon industry witnessed a massive setback due to the reduced demand for tanning products. However, the COVID-19 pandemic triggered a digital transformation across many industries, including cosmetic & personal care. According to data released by Bluecore, an average increase of 127% was reported in the online sale of beauty and skincare products globally in June 2020, compared to the same month in 2019. Similarly, L’Oréal reported that its sales through online channels grew from 15.6% in 2019 to 26.6% in 2020. These factors show a mixed impact of the pandemic on the self-tanning products market.
In 2021, various economies resumed operations as their governments announced relaxations in the previously imposed restrictions, which boosted the global marketplace. Further, manufacturers were permitted to operate at full capacities, which helped them overcome the demand and supply gap and other repercussions. Currently, the market situation is stable, and manufacturers are expanding their presence on online retail platforms such as Amazon.com, Shopify, Walmart, and ebay to boost their sales. This factor is expected to drive the growth of the self-tanning products market over the forecast period.
In recent times, health and skin care awareness has increased significantly across the globe. The increase in developments in sustainable cosmetics, advertising strategies, and innovative product branding are the major factors responsible for establishing the cosmetic industry. Also, the rise in health concerns about skin diseases and other health risks associated with environmental and sun exposure has increased the demand for cosmetic product offerings. Women are increasingly adding grooming products into their daily routines. The cosmetics market in Europe and North America is well established, whereas the cosmetic industry is significantly growing in Asia Pacific and the Middle East & Africa. With the rising number of product launches, consumers can choose from multiple brands available in the market. As per the data published in L'Oréal's 2020 annual report, the global beauty markets witnessed a growth rate of 8% in 2019. Thus, the rising expenditure on beauty products aids in the growth of the global cosmetic industry. Self-tanning products are becoming increasingly popular as people are fond of bronze and tanned skin tones. Also, these products are convenient to use as they impart desired skin tone without sun exposure and sun damage. Thus, the growth of the cosmetics industry across the globe and the increased use of self-tanners are driving the self-tanning products market.
