An aerosol is a suspension of fine solid particles or liquid droplets within a gas. These particles are sufficiently small to stay airborne for long durations. Aerosols can be either naturally occurring or human-made, and they play a vital role in atmospheric dynamics while also influencing environmental and human health.
The primary aerosol types include standard and bag-on-valve systems. The bag-on-valve design is a more advanced configuration, where the product is contained within a sealed bag inside the can, keeping it separate from the propellant. Aerosol particle sizes are categorized into Aitken particles, large particles, and giant particles. Can materials commonly used include steel, aluminum, plastic, tin, and others. Propellant options typically consist of dimethyl ether (DME), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs), among others. These aerosols serve a wide range of applications such as personal care, household products, automotive and industrial uses, food, paints, medical, and other industries.
The aerosol market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides aerosol market statistics, including the aerosol industry's global market size, regional shares, competitors with the aerosol market share, detailed aerosol market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the aerosol market. This aerosol market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenarios of the industry.
The aerosol market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $81.41 billion in 2024 to $87.14 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.0%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to heightened hygiene awareness, rising demand for pharmaceutical products, expanding use in the food and beverage sector, growth of retail distribution channels, and increased adoption in various industrial applications.
The aerosol market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $113.28 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.8%. The projected growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for personal care items, greater usage in household products, the expansion of the automotive industry, rising disposable incomes, and a growing consumer preference for environmentally friendly products. Key trends anticipated during this period include innovation in aerosol propellants, advancements in spray delivery systems, improvements in aerosol packaging, the development of biodegradable components, and progress in aerosol applications within the food and beverage sector.
The rising demand for personal care products is expected to propel the growth of the aerosol market going forward. Personal care products include a variety of items used to maintain hygiene, improve appearance, and support grooming routines. The increase in the use of these products is driven by greater consumer awareness of health and hygiene, leading to higher demand for items that promote cleanliness and self-care. Aerosol technology enhances these products by allowing for precise, hygienic, and convenient application, especially in formulations such as deodorants, hair sprays, and shaving foams. For example, in 2023, Cosmetics Europe, a Belgium-based personal care association, reported that 500 million consumers in Europe use personal care products daily to support their health and well-being. Additionally, the industry contributes around USD 31.23 billion (€29 billion) annually to the European economy. As a result, the growing demand for personal care products is fueling the expansion of the aerosol market.
Companies in the aerosol market are focusing on creating innovative solutions such as polymer aerosol containers to provide lightweight, recyclable alternatives that comply with changing environmental regulations. A polymer aerosol container is made from high-performance plastics like PET, offering a corrosion-resistant and recyclable alternative to traditional metal cans. In October 2022, Plastipak Packaging Inc., a US-based packaging and recycling company, introduced SprayPET Revolution, a fully polymer aerosol container designed to improve sustainability in spray packaging. Made entirely from PET plastic, it eliminates the need for metal parts and enables complete recyclability within existing PET recycling systems. Its lightweight design helps reduce emissions during transportation and minimizes environmental impact while maintaining the pressure resistance needed for aerosol use. The single-material structure also simplifies recycling processes and supports circular economy initiatives.
In December 2022, Briolf Group, a Spain-based chemical company, acquired Areco Italia SPA for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to strengthen Briolf Group's position as a leading manufacturer of aerosol paint in Europe, accelerate business growth, and expand both sector and geographical reach to ensure long-term stability and increase overall revenue. Areco Italia SPA is an Italy-based company specializing in private label production of aerosol spray paints.
