COVID-19 IMPACT

Closure of Beauty Stores due to COVID-19-related Lockdown Restriction to Limit Growth

The implementation of lockdown worldwide due to COVID-19 is leading 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 self-tanning. According to the released data 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 around the world. This aspect is lowering the consumer disposable spending and altering the skincare products purchasing behavior, which is negatively impacting the sunless tanning products market growth.

In addition, limited availability and increased prices of the erythrulose & dihydroxyacetone (DHA) tanning color ingredients and other packaging-related raw material supplies due to severe global supply chain disruption are posing challenges to the key companies in manufacturing these tan products, thereby hampering the market growth. However, increasing trend of stockpiling of consumer goods during COVID-19-related lockdown restrictions in many countries globally is supporting the self-tanning products demand amid pandemic.
