Article Abstract:
The review examines the German retail market for suncare products from 1992 to 1996. The review focused on three categories of sun care products namely, sun screen, after-sun and artificial tanning. It revealed a strong growth influenced much by the growing insight on the dangers of UV radiation. The sunscreen market experienced the highest growth in value terms with an 83.9% share and value sales rising by 28.1% over the period 1992-1996. Artificial tanning sales declined by 16.3 % in value terms in the same period due to the growing number of tanning studios. Beiersdorf AG dominated the market with 27.1% by value in 1996.

The French market for baby care
Article Abstract:
The infant care industry in France, which is composed of products such as baby wipes, diapers, and cleansing milks, has been adversely affected by a decreasing birth rate since 1994 and economic slowdown. The industry experienced a value growth of about 3.1% or 1,018 million francs from 1992 to 1996. The market is dominated by L'Oreal's Mixa brand which maintained a 20% value share in 1996. The entry of American brands such as Huggies from Kimberly-Clark Scott and Pampers from Proctor and Gamble has provided competition for established local brands.
