For instance, in December 2022, Ball Corporation globally launched its new aluminum aerosol can with only half the carbon footprint of a standard can. The new can incorporates up to 50% recycled content as well as low-carbon aluminum that has been smelted using renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric power.
 

Aerosol cans are pressurized containers designed to store and dispense various substances in the form of a fine spray or mist. They typically consist of a canister filled with a product, a propellant, and a dispensing valve. Common uses include packaging and delivering products, such as paints, cosmetics, insect repellents & cleaning agents, in a convenient and controlled manner.
 

The lack of awareness about the advantages of aerosol cans among customers & businesses is a major impediment to the aerosol cans business. This lack of awareness can hinder the use of aerosol cans in a variety of industries, limiting their market potential. Increased education & communication initiatives to highlight the environmental, convenience, and efficiency benefits of aerosol cans are critical in reducing this constraint and fostering market growth.
 

COVID-19 Impact

The COVID-19 pandemic had uneven impacts on the aerosol can business. Initially, the demand for aerosol-based goods such as disinfectants and sanitizers increased, resulting in a short-term gain in aerosol can sales. However, supply chain interruptions and raw material shortages hindered production, posing certain obstacles. Furthermore, environmental concerns about aerosols have resulted in increasing scrutiny and a shift toward alternative packaging methods. Overall, the market fluctuated with an emphasis on adaptation to shifting customer preferences and rules regulating aerosol goods.
 

Aerosol Cans Market Trends

The aerosol cans industry is more concerned about sustainability. Manufacturers are looking into recyclable aluminum and tinplate cans as well as the development of propellants with a lesser environmental impact. This is in reaction to increased consumer awareness and stronger environmental restrictions, making eco-friendly packaging a crucial market driver.
 

To capture consumer attention, companies are investing in creative packaging designs and customized labeling. This allows brands to differentiate their products, convey information effectively, and create a unique identity in a competitive market.
 

Aerosol Cans Market Analysis

Based on product type, the market is divided into straight wall aerosol cans, necked-in aerosol cans, shaped aerosol cans, and other. The necked-in aerosol cans segment dominated the market with a share of over 50% in 2022 and is estimated to reach over USD 4.5 billion in revenue by 2032.
 

• Necked-in aerosol cans are often used in products such as hairsprays, paints, and insect repellents. The narrowed neck allows for better control of the spray pattern and direction, which can be particularly important for precise applications.
   
• As consumer preferences and market trends change, certain products may benefit from the use of necked-in aerosol cans. For example, products that require a fine, targeted spray are more likely to use such packaging.
   

Based on material type, the market is divided into aluminum, steel, and plastic. The aluminum segment held a dominant share in 2022 and is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.5% through 2032.
 

• Aluminum is extremely recyclable, therefore recycling aluminum cans saves significantly more energy than manufacturing new cans from raw materials. This environmental advantage appeals to both customers and producers who aim to lessen their environmental impact.
   
• Aluminum cans are often associated with higher-quality products, and consumers may be willing to pay a premium for products packaged in aluminum aerosol cans. This perception can boost sales and brand image.
   

Europe dominated the global aerosol cans market with a share of over 30% in 2022. There is a growing desire for environmentally friendly and sustainable packaging options, and aerosol cans are increasingly made from recyclable materials. Second, the European cosmetics & personal care industry is a big contributor with aerosol packaging preferred for deodorants and hair sprays. Furthermore, the ease and hygiene associated with aerosol dispensing have contributed to their widespread use in a variety of applications. Regulatory support for decreasing aerosol emissions and enhancing their environmental impact has also contributed to market expansion.

Aerosol Cans Industry News

• In September 2023, Beiersdorf announced its step toward sustainability, climate protection, and circularity. From 2023/24, all deodorant cans in the European assortment of NIVEA, 8X4, Hidrofugal, and Hansaplast will contain at least 50% recycled aluminum & will weigh 11.6% less owing to material reduction. This will reduce CO2e emissions in the aerosol can value chain by around 58%. This corresponds to a reduction of around 30 tons of CO2e per year.
   
• In August 2022, Colep Packaging acquired a 40% share in ALM Envases, a Spanish manufacturer of aluminum aerosols. The acquisition broadened the company's packaging solutions. In addition, the acquisition allowed Colep to employ ALM's technology and expertise to cater to the more difficult aerosol can market.
