Ever wondered why so many salon owners are suddenly talking about sunbed options? The timing isn’t coincidental.
The sunbed market has seen remarkable growth, with a global valuation reaching £2.8 billion in 2023 and forecasts showing a 4.2 % annual growth rate through 2028. That’s real, sustainable expansion — not just speculation.
So, what’s driving this surge?
Post-pandemic habits have changed how people think about hygiene and personal space. Stand-up sunbeds, in particular, have experienced massive demand spikes since 2023. The rental market grew by nearly 40 % compared to pre-COVID levels. Clients still crave that UV glow but are more conscious about cleanliness than ever before.
