Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/25/2014 -- 2013 was not a strong year for sun care. The overall category declined by 3% in current value terms but grew by 1% in volume terms, solely thanks to sun protection. Although the summer was not extraordinarily sunny or hot in 2013, the UK did experience a mild heat wave for a couple of weeks in July, which helped raise volume sales of sun protection by 3%.

Competitive Landscape:

L'Oreal (UK) Ltd retained the number one spot in sun care in 2013, recording a 27% value share and sales of GBP72 million. The company has several brands in its portfolio, with Garnier Ambre Solaire, present in sun protection, self-tanning and aftersun, being the biggest seller and accounting for 77% of L'Oreal's sun care sales. The company's second largest brand, L'Oreal Sublime Bronze, is present in self-tanning. L'Oreal's long-term presence in sun care, coupled with ongoing advertising campaigns, enables the company to strongly lead the category.
