The rate of growth in retail constant value sales of sun care will be broadly stable in 2025 but will be significantly lower across the forecast period as a whole than in the review period. Nonetheless, demand will continue to grow at a robust clip, as Costa Ricans increasingly consider it important to wear sun protection when outside for prolonged periods of time and international visitor numbers continue to rise.
While not a lot of new players are expected to enter sun care during the forecast period, existing players will continue to widen their product portfolios. BDF Costa Rica SA (GBO: Beiersdorf AG) is likely to be among the leaders in this regard, launching more specialised offerings and more personalised formulas for different skin types, as well as more product presentations, such as solids, gels, wipes and sprays.
While supermarkets are expected to remain the main distribution care, adult sun care is expected to expand to small grocery stores nationwide, especially in areas with high levels of tourism. Many tourism centres in the country still lack supermarkets, with small grocery retailers generally having only a few products on their shelves.
