NIVEA identifies market segments that meet individual consumer needs. Segmentation occurs when a
market is split into sub-markets (segments) which can respond in similar ways to different marketing
activities. Each segment:
The diagram above shows the three main product segments that make up the NIVEA Sun range. As you
will see, there are a variety of products in each, which can also be segmented as shown.
1. Protection
It is vital that skin is adequately protected against the sun”s harmful effects (although no sunscreen can
provide total protection). NIVEA Sun provides products that enable people to be as safe as possible.
NIVEA Sun also encourages the use of other forms of protection (e.g. wearing a sun hat and avoiding
midday sun). Protection is the largest segment in the sun care market with a purchase penetration of 28%.
NIVEA Sun is the protection segment market leader by value (i.e. more money is spent on NIVEA Sun
protection products than any other sun care brand in the UK). When choosing sunscreens there are two
important factors to consider:
i. skin type
The chart below shows segmentation by skin type. The level of protection required for each segment will
vary according to generalized skin types (as seen below):
IGCSE Edexcel-
Revision worksheets
Skin type applies to children, as well as adults. Children’s skin is thinner and its repair mechanism is not
yet fully developed. As a result they require extra protection and sun screens that are specifically
developed for their skin.
ii. Location
NIVEA Sun provides a range of lotions and sprays targeted at different climates and to users with
different skin types. Someone with fair skin may be well protected with a SPF 20 product when in
England, but if they were in Barbados they would need SPF 40.
2. After Sun
NIVEA Sun is the market leader within this segment in the UK, which has been growing rapidly.
3. Self-tan
In contrast to protection and after sun, the self-tan category is concerned mostly with cosmetic appeal.
Many adults use self-tan to have an all year round sun kissed glow.
