Aerosol Market 2030: The Growing Household Aerosol Segment

Global Aerosol Market Overview

The global aerosol market was valued at USD 83.29 billion in 2023 and is expected to reach USD 131.93 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 6.9% from 2024 to 2030. Market growth is primarily driven by increasing demand for products such as deodorants, hair sprays, hair mousse, dry shampoos, insecticides, air fresheners, cleaning agents, lubricants, and medical sprays.

The rapid expansion of the personal care and household sectors is a major factor contributing to market growth. Aerosols are widely used in personal care and household products including deodorants, shaving gels, insecticides, hair sprays, fabric care products, air fresheners, furniture polish, oven cleaners, and leather care items. Beyond these segments, aerosols also find applications in the automotive, paints & varnishes, industrial, pharmaceutical, veterinary, and food industries.

The introduction of innovative product formats and gender-specific products is anticipated to fuel demand for personal care aerosols. Moreover, the growing use of aerosol propellants in hair styling products, deodorants, and antiperspirants is expected to further support market expansion.

Companies such as S. C. Johnson & Son, Inc. have been actively promoting the benefits of repellents, thereby boosting demand for aerosols in the household segment. However, environmental regulations such as the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) and the Montreal Protocol are expected to restrain demand for products emitting volatile organic compounds (VOCs), particularly those containing hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) propellants.

Additionally, the surge in demand for sanitizing sprays and disinfectants during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has supported the continued use of aerosols in household cleaning applications.

In response to sustainability concerns, leading manufacturers are focusing on producing recyclable and low-carbon aerosols to minimize their environmental impact. For example, in June 2022, Ball Corporation introduced a low-carbon aluminum aerosol can containing up to 50% recycled content and aluminum smelted using renewable energy sources such as hydroelectric power. This initiative aligns with Ball Corporation’s target to reduce its absolute value chain emissions by 16% by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions before 2050.
