Findings show that sun care sales in Germany swing sharply in line with the local summer weather. Longer-term, they are impacted by growing consumer concern about sun-induced skin diseases. Indeed, the latter led to an increase in volume sales up to a peak in 2003, with the more expensive higher-SPF products and those containing better skin care properties very much in demand. Nevertheless, over the decade the market has seen an overall slow decline in value sales, stemming from significant switches towards private labels and discounters.
