Industry Trends The tanning industry has more that doubled over
the past 10 years. It is estimated that 30 million Americans visited a tanning
salon. In 2004, the Tanning Industry grew to an approximately $5 billion
dollar industry from its humble $900 Million annual sales in 1991. This
growth is attributed to Americans being concerned about their appearance and their
health. Although some experts say that indoor tanning is harmful,
many believe that indoor tanning is a safe way for people to tan without burning.
Tanning Salons have their employees trained to identify skin types and how
their skin will react to the Ultra Violet light so they can teach people how to
avoid sun burns. Sun burn prevention outdoors is much more difficult
than indoors due to uncontrollable variables. In theory, tanning indoors
will be the same amount of UV light every time.
