Aerosol Global Market Report 2026

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.

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.
