Industry Definition and Segmentation

Aerosol spray is a dispenser that can keep a chemical under pressure and spray it as a thin mist. The device lets out a liquid in the form of an aerosol mist. It consists of a payload in a container and power under pressure. The load is driven out through a tiny orifice; when the container's valve is opened, it emerges as an aerosol or mist. The canisters have been used for packaging a broad range of items, from disinfectants to whipped cream. The Aerosol Cans industry report comprises segments by end-use (Personal Care, Household, Pharmaceutical, Food, Paints & varnishes, Automotive & Industrial) and region (North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa, and South America).

Europe and the Middle East and Africa Regions are Driving the Growth of the Industry

Europe, the Middle East and Africa are the leading regions in the industry due to growing concern about reducing packaging waste. Additionally, low costs and lowering wastage by extending the product's shelf life increase the market potential.

The market is being driven by the application of cans in personal care products such as deodorants, hair sprays, and face & body creams. Moreover, end-use sectors such as cosmetics and personal care, food and drinks, and healthcare increase the need for aerosol cans. Furthermore, the growing use of spray paints in the automotive sector for vehicle protection and customisation boosts the market growth. In addition, rising consumer awareness about the recyclability and reusability of aerosol cans is fueling sales. During the projected period, household applications such as prewash sprays, shoe polish, stain removers, and water-repellant are predicted to rise. Lubricants, adhesives, and industrial cleaners are all packaged in aerosol cans. Other drivers, including widespread product use in agriculture for spraying fertilisers and pesticides, are expected to fuel the market.

However, factors like cheaper alternative packaging options and the presence of harmful chemicals in aerosol cans used as fuel, and growing environmental and health concerns are hampering the market's growth.

Category Management Studies

The container, the valve, and the actuator or button are the three main components of modern aerosol spray products. The container is usually formed of two or three pieces of metal crimped together and is lacquered tinplate (steel with a tin coating). The valve is crimped inside the rim of the can, and its design controls the spray rate. The user depresses the actuator to open the valve; a spring shuts the valve when the actuator is released. The aerosolised particle size and spread are controlled by the shape and size of the nozzle in the actuator.

Various Properties of the Product, Further Enhancing the Procurement of Aerosol Cans

The industry is being propelled due to the various properties of the product, like the ease of precise dosage without spilling, the airtight packing provided by aerosol cans, etc., which reduces the risk of contamination. Aerosol cans are more convenient than other packaging forms since they are hermetically sealed and contain multi-layered laminations. As a result, they have a wide range of uses in agriculture, automotive, personal care, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage. Aluminium cans are widely used for packaging. It is light, shatterproof, impervious to water, flexible, corrosion-resistant, and recyclable. Aluminium aerosol cans keep the contents fresh for an extended period by preventing high volatile ingredients from escaping. In addition, consumer tastes are shifting, which impacts the whole market situation. The preference for environmentally friendly packaging boosts the demand for recyclable and reusable aerosol cans. The key players are working to make their production techniques more sustainable. The popularity of this type of packaging has risen due to improved simplicity of use, accurate product application, and extended shelf life.

The regional markets for the industry can be divided into North America, South America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and the Asia Pacific.
