Air fresheners serve as devices employed to enhance the scent and overall ambiance of indoor spaces by emitting pleasing fragrances or neutralizing unpleasant odors. They play a crucial role in augmenting indoor air quality, eradicating disagreeable odors, and fostering a more inviting atmosphere for occupants. Commonly utilized in homes, offices, vehicles, and other enclosed areas, air fresheners aid in the eradication of malodors, promoting relaxation, uplifting mood, and combating fatigue.
The primary product types within the realm of air fresheners include sprays, aerosols, electric air fresheners, gel air fresheners, candle air fresheners, and various other variants. Sprays, for instance, are liquid-form air freshener products dispensed via pump mechanisms. They cater to a diverse customer base, encompassing individuals and enterprises, and are distributed through various channels such as hypermarkets, supermarkets, retail stores, pharmacies, online markets, and others. Additionally, they find application across multiple domains including households, corporate offices, automotive settings, residential spaces, and more.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the services sector, particularly in business services, IT, and professional consulting. The increased costs of imported technology, office equipment, and critical digital infrastructure are driving up operating expenses for service providers, compelling them to either pass these costs on to clients or absorb the financial strain themselves. Outsourcing firms and IT service providers are grappling with higher hardware costs and supply chain delays, which are disrupting project timelines and squeezing profitability. Furthermore, retaliatory tariffs have weakened demand for U.S.-based professional services in key global markets, slowing export-driven revenues. To navigate these challenges, the sector must focus on accelerating digital transformation, optimizing costs, and strengthening domestic client relationships to sustain growth and remain competitive in an increasingly uncertain trade environment.

The air fresheners market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $13.47 billion in 2024 to $14.36 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.6%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased demand for air care and concerns, growth in car sales, increase in pet ownership, growing demand for high-end lifestyles and luxury, increased environmental concerns.
The air fresheners market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $18.76 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to growing awareness about indoor air pollution, increasing household sizes, increasing consumer focus on health and wellness, rising urbanization, and growing demand for natural and organic air fresheners. Major trends in the forecast period include smart home technology, refillable and reusable packaging solutions, development of new fragrance technologies, eco-friendly formulations, and customization and personalization.
The forecast of 6.9% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.9% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. The U.S. may see inflated production costs resulting from tariffs on fragrance compounds and aerosol delivery systems imported from Italy and China, potentially affecting product variety and retail pricing. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The anticipated rise in air pollutants is poised to drive the expansion of the air freshener market in the future. Air pollutants encompass harmful substances or particles present in the Earth's atmosphere that have adverse effects on human health, the environment, or the climate. The escalation in air pollutants can be attributed to factors such as industrialization, urbanization, transportation, waste management, and the combustion of fossil fuels. Air fresheners play a role in masking unpleasant odors and enhancing indoor air quality, albeit contributing to indoor air pollution by emitting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and secondary pollutants. For instance, in April 2023, as reported by the Cable News Network (CNN), the number of Americans residing in areas with failing grades for daily pollution rose from 63 million in 2022 to 64 million in 2023. Consequently, the increasing level of air pollutants is spurring growth in the air freshener market.
