Middle East and Africa Sun Care Market Outlook, 2028

Certain cultural practices in the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region, such as modest dressing and the wearing of hijabs or traditional clothing, can influence the usage patterns of sun care products. People may focus more on protecting exposed areas of skin, such as the face, neck, and hands. The increasing awareness about the harmful effects of UV radiation and the growing concerns regarding skin cancer and premature aging have been driving the demand for sun care products.

This results in a higher demand for sun care products as the population is more exposed to the harmful effects of UV radiation. Sun care products with higher SPF levels are often preferred in this region. The MEA region is home to a diverse population with varying skin tones. Sun care products need to cater to a wide range of skin types and tones, including individuals with darker skin who may still require sun protection.

Regulatory bodies in the MEA region, such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and individual country authorities, have set regulations for sun care products to ensure consumer safety and efficacy. These regulations focus on product labeling, SPF claims, and adherence to specific ingredient standards.
