Aerosols are a type of gaseous suspension system that creates a gaseous mist of liquid molecules. It is widely used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries for manufacturing nasal sprays, throat sprays, and other topical medications. It is also utilized in the production of treatments for respiratory conditions like asthma and COPD using metered-dose inhalers (MDIs) and dry powder inhalers (DPIs).

Aerosols are also utilized in manufacturing hairsprays, styling sprays, and antiperspirants. It also finds its application in manufacturing various household and consumer products like air fresheners and odor neutralizers. It is also used in the automotive industry in the production of anti-static sprays, paints, and rust removers. It also finds application in the packaging of whipped cream, cooking oils, etc.

Feedstock for Aerosol

The feedstock involved in the production of Aerosol is Hydrocarbon Propellant. Hydrocarbon propellants such as propane, butane, and isobutane are obtained from natural gas and crude oil. Thus, the cost and availability of these raw materials, which are further influenced by oil and gas exploration and extraction activities, directly affect the production of hydrocarbon propellants. Environmental regulations related to volatile organic compounds (VOCs), greenhouse gas emissions, and overall air quality also impact the use and production of hydrocarbon propellants.

Additionally, the development of more environmentally friendly or efficient propellants can reduce the demand for traditional hydrocarbon propellants, which further impacts its sourcing strategies. Trade policies, tariffs, international conflicts, and other geopolitical events that affect oil and natural gas markets can further impact the availability and pricing of hydrocarbon propellants. Changes in demand from downstream industries, including aerosol, refrigeration, and aerospace, can also affect the pricing and availability of hydrocarbon propellants.
 

Market Drivers for Aerosol

The demand for Aerosol is predominantly driven by its application as a component in the production of topical medications. Its utilization in the production of asthma inhalers and throat sprays for the treatment of various respiratory conditions also promotes its demand in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. Its application in manufacturing deodorants, hair sprays, and air fresheners also contributes to its demand in the personal care, household, and consumer goods industries. Its usage in manufacturing spray paints, rust removers, coatings, and ant-static sprays also fuels its demand in the automotive industry. Its utilization in the packaging of cooking oils and whipped cream further enhances its demand in the food industry.

Industrial Aerosol procurement is largely affected by the availability and price variations in the choice of propellant (hydrocarbons like butane and propane, compressed gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, or fluorocarbons). The sourcing of high-quality containers and valves that can withstand the pressures involved in aerosol systems is important. Thus, innovations in packaging technology that offer better performance or cost-efficiency can further influence procurement decisions.

The environmental impact of aerosol propellants, particularly those that are flammable or have high global warming potential, greatly affects its procurement strategies. Additionally, compliance with environmental regulations, particularly concerning volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases, plays a significant role in determining its procurement strategies. Capital Expenditures (CAPEX) for aerosol production facilities largely involve the initial investment in acquiring land and building & constructing the plant.

It also covers the cost of buying and installing high shear batch mixer, actuator, cap sorter feeder, pressing machine, Bag-on-valve (BOV) aerosol filling machine, V-blenders, ball mill, and pH meters. Investments in automated packaging and labeling systems are also covered under CAPEX. Operational Expenditures (OPEX) for aerosol production covers the daily costs of running the manufacturing processes. It covers the cost of buying raw materials, utilities (especially energy costs for machinery), and labor. It also includes the expenses related to repair and maintenance of equipment, waste management, and safety & environmental compliance.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Aerosol manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Aerosol manufacturing.

• Production from Hydrocarbon Propellant: The feedstock required for this process includes Hydrocarbon Propellant.

This method of production involves the process of pressure-filling by using a hydrocarbon propellant to produce an aerosol. The process is initiated by adding the product concentrate to a container and a valve is fitted onto it, followed by introducing a hydrocarbon propellant through the valve of the container. Further, the valve of the container is sealed, which forms the aerosol product.

• Production from Fluorocarbon Propellent: The feedstock required for this process includes Fluorocarbon Propellant.

In this method, a fluorocarbon propellant is used as the starting material to obtain the aerosol product. The process begins by cooling a fluorocarbon propellent below its boiling point to transform it into its liquid form. Further, the product concentrate (active ingredient) is cooled and added to a chilled container. A valve is fit into it to create pressure onto the active ingredient, which forms the aerosol product.
 

Properties of Aerosol

Aerosols are small solid particles and are very fine or liquid droplets called particulate matter (PM) suspended in the atmosphere. They are obtained by a profound series of natural and anthropogenic sources. Atmospheric aerosols comprise solid/aqueous particles that are present in the environment and usually range in size from 0.001 μm-10 μm. The actual particles of aerosols are within the diameter range between a few million micrometers to about 1 micrometer (equal to 10-4 cm). Natural aerosol includes sulfate aerosol, which is formed by sulfur dioxide emissions from volcanic eruptions or is formed by dimethyl sulfide emissions from the ocean's phytoplankton, sea salt particles emitted at the surface of the ocean, or mineral dust emitted by the effects of wind erosion. Human activities generate anthropogenic aerosols from elements such as nitrate, sulfate, black carbon, and organic carbon aerosol from burning fossil fuel, deforestation fires, and agricultural waste.
