[190 Pages Report] The Aerosol Cans Market size was estimated at USD 12.03 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 12.51 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 4.31% to reach USD 16.17 billion by 2030.

The aerosol cans are metal containers that hold and dispense pressurized liquid or gas products through a valve system. The aerosol cans offer convenience and ease of use with minimal environmental impact. The proliferating demand for personal care products such as deodorants and hair sprays due to changing lifestyle patterns contributes significantly to the aerosol cans market. However, the fluctuating costs of raw materials such as aluminum and steel affect margins for manufacturers by impacting pricing strategies directly. Additionally, stringent regulations surrounding volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions create challenges for companies seeking compliance without compromising product performance. Nevertheless, new opportunities arise from exploring sustainable packaging solutions such as post-consumer recycled (PCR) aluminum content in cans, which are expected to augment the demand for aerosol cans. Moreover, developing lightweight cans with enhanced functionality, shelf life, and recyclability without compromising structural integrity is expected to open new opportunities for the aerosol cans market in the coming years.

Type: Evolving demand for shaped wall aerosol cans for unique designs and enhanced consumer appeal

Necked-in aerosol cans are characterized by a narrowed opening at the top, which provides a secure fit for the valve and actuator system. Necked-in design is preferred for applications requiring precise dispensing and controlled spray patterns, such as personal care products, household cleaning solutions, and automotive products. Shaped wall aerosol cans feature unique designs that deviate from the traditional cylindrical shape to capture consumer attention and enhance brand differentiation. Shaped wall aerosol cans incorporate ergonomic features or visual elements tailored to specific industries, such as cosmetics or food products. Straight-wall aerosol cans are characterized by a consistent diameter from the base to the top, providing a clean and modern appearance. Straight-wall aerosol can designs are favored for applications where a visually appealing aesthetic is important, such as personal care products and home care items.

Material: Proliferating usage of aluminum for aerosol can manufacturing due to its recyclable properties

Aluminum aerosol cans are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and provide excellent barrier properties for various applications. The need-based preference for aluminum lies in its recyclability and sustainability, contributing to a reduced carbon footprint. Plastic aerosol cans offer cost-effective packaging solutions with high design flexibility and resistance to breakage during transportation or handling. Plastic aerosol cans are mainly used to create unique shapes or designs that cater to specific marketing goals or customer segments. Steel-tinplate aerosol cans are known for their robustness and durability while offering good barrier protection against external factors. The ability to withstand high pressure and resist puncturing or leakage during transporting or storing steel-tinplate aerosol makes it suitable for industrial applications.

Propellant Type: Adoption of compressed gas propellants for enhanced safety and lower VOC emissions

Compressed gas propellants are commonly used in aerosol cans to provide a range of essential benefits, including environmental friendliness and increased safety. Compressed gas propellants consist of gasses such as carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen (N2), or nitrous oxide (N2O). Compressed gas propellants have zero ozone depletion potential and low global warming potential, making them more environmentally friendly than other propellant types. Liquefied gas propellants are widely employed in aerosol cans due to their excellent solvency power for various formulations and their ability to maintain constant pressure within the canister throughout usage. Liquefied gas propellants typically consist of hydrocarbons such as propane, butane, or isobutane mixed with other compounds to achieve specific application requirements. However, higher flammability risks contribute to volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions associated with liquefied gas propellant, which can negatively impact air quality when released into the atmosphere.

Can Type: Rising popularity of three-piece aerosol cans to achieve customizable can shapes

Two-piece aerosol cans are manufactured using a single sheet of metal, which is drawn and ironed into the desired shape. Two-piece cans are preferred for products that require airtight seals, as their seamless structure minimizes potential leakage points. Three-piece aerosol cans consist of three separate components, including a cylindrical body, a top cone-shaped part, and a bottom end cap. The manufacturing process involves cutting metal sheets into discs formed into the desired shapes through deep drawing or progressive die stamping methods. The three components are then joined together via welding or seaming techniques. Three-piece aerosol cans provide greater flexibility in design possibilities. However, they may not offer the same level of sealing performance as two-piece variants.

Application: Extensive use of aerosol cans in packaging of personal care products

The automotive industry widely uses aerosol cans for delivering paints, lubricants, cleaners, and various maintenance products. The ease of use, controlled spray patterns, and reduced waste have increased the use of aerosol cans in the automotive industry. Aerosol cans have extensive applications in the healthcare sector for dispensing pharmaceutical drugs such as asthma inhalers, topical medications including antifungal sprays and analgesic rubs, and wound care sprays. The primary need-based preference for these products is their accurate dosage delivery system and improved hygiene due to minimal contact with the contents inside. Household care utilizes aerosol cans for distributing various cleaning agents, including air fresheners, furniture polishes, disinfectant sprays, and insecticides. Consumers prefer aerosol cans for household applications due to their convenience without any spillage, quick drying nature, and controlled release of the contents. Personal care employs aerosol cans for packaging deodorants, body sprays, hair sprays, shaving creams, and sun protection products. The need-based preference for aerosols in this category is due to their convenience in application, uniform distribution of products in targeted areas, and longer shelf life.
