Opportunities for global UV filter market for personal care products to reach $672 million by 2021

According to a new market report published by Lucintel, the future of the global UV filter market for personal care products looks very promising with opportunities in organic and inorganic UV filter. The global UV filter market for personal care products is expected to reach an estimated $672 million by 2021 and it is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 3.1% by value from 2016 to 2021. The major drivers of growth for this market are increasing awareness of consumers about the potentially harmful effects of UV rays and strong demand for anti-aging products.  

In this market, organic and inorganic UV filters are used. On the basis of its comprehensive research, Lucintel forecasts that the inorganic UV filter is expected to show above average growth during the forecast period.

Within the global UV filter market for personal care products, the organic UV filter is expected to remain the largest market. There has been increased usage of UV filters in sun care products because organic UV filters absorb the ultraviolet light and convert it into a small amount of heat. UV filters are also compatible with inorganic ingredients, which would spur growth for this segment over the forecast period. 

By application type, skin care is expected to remain the largest market due to growing health awareness regarding sunburn damage. Increase in penetration of organic UV filters in other applications like hair care, lip care and, eye care is expected to spur growth for this segment over the forecast period.

By ingredient type, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate (EHMC) is a widely used ingredient in the UV filter market. UV filters protect skin from sunburn and protect cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration caused by UV rays, which are the major drivers for growth of this segment.

Europe is expected to remain the largest market due to harsh climate conditions and better consumer education on the importance of sun protection. 

The APAC region is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period because of the rise in population and in disposable income; also, there is higher awareness about health and fitness, especially in India, China, Indonesia, and South Korea. 

For business expansion, the report suggests innovation and new product development to produce UV filters which have excellent transparency, outstanding dispersing properties, and better functional benefits for the end user. The report further suggests the development of partnerships with customers to develop user friendly UV filters for sun care products.

Emerging trends, which have a direct impact on the dynamics of the industry, include the introduction of nano particles in the manufacturing of UV filters; these filters give a transparent look and do not leave white residue on skin. BASF, DOW Chemical Co., Merck & Co., Evonik Industries AG, Royal DSM, Ashland Inc., Symrise AG are among the major suppliers of the UV filter market for personal care products.
