Kwanchai Rungfapaisarn of The Nation talks with Yusuke Saito, regional director for personal care and aroma ingredients, DSM Personal Care, Asia Pacific, on the company’s expansion plan for its personal care business here and in other potential markets in the region. Across Asia, consumers are becoming increasingly conscious and concerned about skin care, and interested in the use of specialised products for their skin. Asia’s sun care product market has close to doubled from a value of US$1.24 billion in 2006 to US$2.41 billion in 2016. In Thailand, huge opportunities are waiting to be tapped in the sun protection product industry. Traditionally, blue light exposure had been associated with time spent outdoors (sunlight contains UV and blue light).
