Tanning Salons in the US

Health and safety a burning issue

Concerns about the health risks associated with UV tanning are resulting in increasingly stringent regulation of this industry. Spray tans are therefore becoming more popular as a safe alternative. Operating in a highly competitive environment, the industry is being forced to consolidate, with franchises dominating. Larger operators are also expanding their range of skin, health and beauty services in a bid to improve market share.

This industry deals with indoor skin tanning salons, using specially designed tables or pods with radiating lamps in which customers lay for only short periods at a time. Increasingly, these salons are also offering artificial skin tanning, using spray on solutions. This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
