UV Filter Market: Overview

• UV filters are used for absorbing or blocking ultraviolet rays of the sun. UV filters are usually used to protect the skin, food, and chemical ingredients from being exposed to UV rays. Increase in usage of sun protection lotions and cosmetic items is expected to drive the global UV filter market during the forecast period.
• Rise in usage of anti-aging products is likely to be another factor driving the global UV filter market in the near future. Climate change and ozone layer depletion are also anticipated to boost the demand for UV filters in the next few years.

Key Drivers and Restraints of UV Filter market

• Growth in concerns about skin cancer and skin-related diseases is projected to fuel the global UV filter market in the near future, as it provides protection against tanning, sunburns, and other skin diseases. UV filters help in absorbing or reflecting the UV light and protect the skin from harmful effects of UV rays. Rise in awareness about skin diseases is boosting the demand for sunscreen lotions. This, in turn, is driving the global UV filter market. Marketing campaigns, advertisements, and increase in the demand for cosmetics are anticipated to drive the global market during the forecast period.
• The global UV filter market is competitive, owing to presence of well-diversified international and regional players. UV filters are used extensively across the globe, due to changes in climatic conditions and awareness among people about harmful skin diseases. Well-established distribution channels for cosmetics, that help facilitate the flow of products to end-users, are present in the global UV filter market.
• Growth in consumption of skin care products led by climate changes is likely to create lucrative opportunities for the global UV filter market between 2021 and 2031. Various companies are introducing several UV-filters based on climatic condition and skin type of the people. Companies are providing UV filters with a wide price range. This is also a factor driving the global UV filter market.
• Availability of low-priced alternatives and presence of strict government regulations in the U.S. and Europe are major restraints of the UV filter market

• North America is expected to hold major share of the global UV filter market from 2021 to 2031. The market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to expand at a rapid pace during the forecast period, due to increase in disposable income and large population in the region. Developing economies such as China, India, and Taiwan are markets with high growth potential for skin care, hair care, and makeup products. This is ascribed to growth of the UV filter market in these countries.
