Article Abstract:

UK sales of high protection factor suntan products are forecast to rise to 56 million pounds sterling in 1996 vs 46 million pounds in 1995, representing growth of 215% in 1991-96. Products with a sun protection factor (SPF) of 20 or above are enjoying the highest growth, and are expected to account for 50% of sales by value in 1996 vs 37% in 1991. The growth in high SPF products is attributed to recent hot summers and a greater awareness of the dangers of the sun.
