Self-Tanning Products Market Size, Share & COVID-19 Impact Analysis, By Product Form (Self-Tan Lotion, Self-Tan Spray, Self-Tan Oil, Self-Tan Mousse, Self-Tan Drops, Self-Tan Wipes, and Others), By End-User (Household and Commercial), By Distribution Channel (Offline Channel and Online Channel), and Regional Forecast, 2023-2030

The global self-tanning products market size was valued at USD 1.04 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow from USD 1.10 billion in 2023 to USD 1.70 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.45% during the forecast period.

Individuals worldwide are increasingly focusing on skin treatment and have become aware of the sun's harmful effects, raising the need for tanning products. The use of the product assists to avoid traditional tanning, which has a high risk of skin cancer due to exposure of skin to sunlight to attain tanned skin. Moreover, market players, such as Artesian Tan, Isle of Paradise, St. Tropez, Bondi Sands, Bali Body, and others, are progressively focusing on the launch of innovative self-tanning products such as Coco Eve by Charlotte Tilbury, creams, sprays, and others to help gain more consumers through their product offerings, thereby acting as an opportunity for the self-tanning products market growth. For instance, in April 2021, Boots, a U.K.-based beauty brand, launched its six innovative sunless tanning products from leading brands, such as Isle of Paradise, St. Tropez, Bondi Sands, and Bali Body, which are ideal for summer use. These products include Isle of Paradise Day Dew Self-Tan Face, Skinny Tan NoTox Beauty Elixir, St. Tropez Tan x Ashley Graham Limited Edition Ultimate Glow Kit, Bondi Sands GLO Matte One Day Tan, S19 SUPER FX, Body Gloss Bronze, and Bali Body Gradual Tan.

COVID-19 IMPACT

Closure of Stores amid the Pandemic Reduced the Demand for the Product 

The implementation of lockdown worldwide due to COVID-19 led to the closure of stores of non-essential goods, including beauty products. The closure of stores has undesirably impacted the sales of various beauty products, including tanning products. According to the data released by the L'Oréal 2020 Annual Report, make-up and sun protection products were hit particularly hard, and the market witnessed a decline of 15% in 2020. In addition, the pandemic resulted in millions of job losses worldwide, which alters consumer spending behavior and negatively influences market growth.

Rising Production of Organic-based Products Acts as a Market Trend

The growing number of individuals increasingly attracted by organic-based products such as Beauty by Earth Self Tanner, Botanic Tree Self Tanner, and others are surging the need for organic-based self-tanning products. The increasing consumer inclination toward organic products is mainly driven by the product being made up of natural and plant-based substances, which are regarded as safer to use than chemical-based products. For instance, in December 2021, Beraca Ingredients Naturais S.A., an American organic ingredient supplier, announced the launch of a collection of vegan and multifunctional materials, such as beige, caramel, ebony, and others, which are used for the production of tanning oil, creams, and lotions.

DRIVING FACTORS

Flourishing Trade of Personal Care Products among Different Nations to Support Market Expansion

The U.S. is filled with renowned skincare companies, including B Tan, Bondi Sands, Neutrogena, and others, enabling them to launch innovative tanning products and export them to different countries. Besides, trading also boosts production volume combined with increased revenue of the players present in the self-tanning industry. These factors are estimated to drive the overall market. Moreover, in recent times, consumers have been inclined toward using natural and organic tanning products as they are less harmful to the skin and provide tanning effects for a more extended period. This has contributed to the growth of the global market during the forecast period. For instance, according to the data published by the U.S. Census Bureau in 2021, U.S. exports of personal care products, including self-tanning products to Thailand and Indonesia, clocked USD 120 million and USD 103 million, respectively, during 2019-20. Due to the extreme weather conditions and soaring temperatures in APAC countries, the U.S. export volume of skin care products has increased for that region.

Growing Awareness Regarding Excessive Sun Exposure to Augment Self-Tanning Products Demand 

Individuals aged between 15-20 years are expected to get affected the most by the sun's harmful rays. Therefore, to avoid skin diseases, people are progressively using tanning products such as lotions, sprays, masks, creams, and others, which is expected to drive the demand overall. Also, skin cancer treatment involves a considerable cost, which sometimes becomes unaffordable for the consumers and bears cumulative post-treatment effects emerging from cancers. For instance, according to the American Academy of Dermatology Association, 2022, the treatment cost of non-melanoma skin cancer is projected to be USD 4.8 billion, while that of melanoma skin cancer has been estimated to be USD 3.3 billion.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Lack of Awareness & Information about the Product's Application to Restrict the Market Growth

In developing countries or Least Developed Countries (LDCs), such as Brazil, India, Peru, and others, people have less information about sunless tanning products as those products are not so popular in Latin America and APAC region. Moreover, Asian people are more inclined toward the traditional tanning process rather than using self-tanning creams and sprays. For instance, as per the report published by United Press International, Inc., in May 2022, 63% of the population worldwide got suntan in 2021, from 54% suntan in 2020. It has also been found that around 39% of the population is unaware of the risks associated with sunburn, which increases the probability of skin cancers. Moreover, owing to the lesser internet penetration combined with lack of knowledge about the flexibility of online portals, pertinent information about the usage and benefits of sunless tanning products is not conveyed to consumers of developing regions. This decreases the demand for the products, and thus restricts the market growth in the near term. According to the report published by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in 2021, digital connectivity penetration constitutes 76% in urban areas, whereas in rural areas, it is stacked only 39% worldwide.

By Distribution Channel Analysis

Offline Channel Segment to Remain at the Forefront Due to Variety of Products Available
