Shift in Attitudes Towards Tanned Skin as Socially Desirable & a Beauty Standard in the Americas and the Europe to Drive the Global Market for Sunless Tanners

The global market for Sunless Tanners is projected to reach US$1.1 billion by 2024, driven by the growing acceptance of tanned skin as a beauty standard in the Americas and Europe coupled with increased awareness over the health risks posed by harmful UV rays of the sun and rising demand for multifunctional and organic and natural products.

Tanning is one of the skincare treatments to gain widespread popularity among consumers of various cultures. While the exposure to natural sun rays or use of tanning beds have been the traditional methods to achieve a tanned look, growing concerns over links between excessive UV exposure and occurrence of skin cancer have shifted attention to sunless tanning. Described as the use of a product that interacts with the skin to impart a tan effect, sunless tanning or self-tanning has gained popularity as a safe approach to get a tan and glowing skin all through the year. Available in varied forms such as creams, lotions, gels, mousses, sprays and foam, self-tanning products not only achieve a healthy, bronzed skin appearance but also prevent the risk of skin cancer associated with exposure to UV rays during natural tanning process.

The self-tanning products market is being favored by the relatively time consuming, inconvenient and harmful nature of outdoor tanning methods, while professional tanning services are highly expensive. With a growing number of people facing discomfort during outdoor tanning sessions and at professional tanning salons, demand for self-tanning products continues to grow. Regulations prohibiting commercial tanning salons also present huge growth potential for the sunless tanners market.

Specifically in western countries such as the UK, the proportion of men using sunless tanners continues to grow.

Sunless tanning products market is also being boosted by the increased availability of scientific evidence supporting the role played by self-tanning products in controlling incidence of non-melanoma skin cancer. The sunless tanner market is a rapidly emerging and evolving industry in which new products and trends continue to dominate the market. Supported by technological advancements, new and innovative sunless tanning products are being constantly developed. In particular, growth is fueled by the rising popularity of multifunctional sunless tanning products, which offer added benefits such as moisturizing, soothing and anti-aging capabilities, and self-tan products consisting of natural and organic ingredients. Demand is also growing for natural and organic self-tanners. Advancements in sunless tanning technology are also enabling significant reduction in the time required to complete the tan process, from hours-long to the current procedures that are assist in achieving a tan in minutes.
