Sun Care Products Market Summary
The global sun care products market size was estimated at USD 12.44 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 15.92 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2025 to 2030. This market is primarily driven by rising consumer awareness about the harmful effects of UV exposure, the growing incidence of skin cancer, and increasing demand for multifunctional skincare.
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer, contributing to a rising public health concern in the U.S. According to the World Health Organization, UV radiation particularly from the sun can cause DNA damage in skin cells, ultimately leading to both melanoma and non-melanoma skin cancers. The risk is heightened by outdoor occupations, tanning practices, and climate-related changes that increase UV intensity.
The expanding sun care products market is largely fueled by the growing occurrence of skin cancer and global sun safety promotions. Data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) indicates that skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., with over 6.1 million adults annually treated for basal and squamous cell carcinomas. In response, public health bodies have implemented sun safety initiatives, urging regular sunscreen use and limited UV exposure. Such campaigns have significantly boosted awareness, particularly in high UV regions, leading to consistent, year-round demand for protective sun care solutions among all age groups.
Another key driver is the rising consumer preference for eco-friendly and mineral-based sun care products, supported by growing environmental regulations and public awareness. In 2024, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reiterated that chemicals like oxybenzone and octinoxate contribute to coral bleaching, prompting more U.S. coastal states to restrict non-mineral sunscreens. This aligns with global trends, as the European Commission has also recommended limits on UV filters harmful to aquatic ecosystems under REACH regulation. Brands are responding with zinc oxide- and titanium dioxide-based formulations that offer broad-spectrum protection while complying with environmental safety standards. The shift toward reef-safe products reflects a broader movement among consumers to prioritize skin health and ecological impact.
