The Z&S School, the series of informative activities of the Zschimmer & Schwarz Spain Partnership Programme for Sustainable and Circular Chemistry of the Universitat Jaume I, held the online seminar "Current status and prospects of the sun care sector", by Patricia Gisbert, innovation manager of Beauty Cluster Barcelona, who analysed the impact caused in the sector by the coronavirus crisis.

Gisbert explained that the existence of the hole in the ozone layer and global warming have increased the need to protect oneself from the sun. As a result, there has been an increased demand for personal care products, such as sunscreens, in recent years.

However, the confinement and reduction in social life and tourism caused by the pandemic has hit the sector. "In 2020 the global sun care market fell by 4.4%," said Gisbert, "but positive growth is estimated from the next few years, reaching €11.24 billion in 2022". The category that has suffered most from the drop has been sunscreens for adults, while products aimed at babies and children have hardly been affected, as families continue to prioritize their protection.

As for the UV filters used, Gisbert drew attention to zinc oxide. Unlike the rest of sunscreens, its consumption increased in 2020 and "is expected to remain stable over the next few years," she estimates.
