Description
The North America aerosol cans market is forecast to reach USD 4.65 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 2.3% during 2023-2029. Aerosol cans made of aluminum, steel or plastic serve as packaging systems for dispensing a variety of products using a propellant and valve system.
Several factors underpin the positive outlook for this market. The recyclability and reusability of aerosol cans make them an environmentally compliant packaging choice, supporting demand. Major end-use industries like personal care and cosmetics also spur adoption, as rising disposable incomes drive demand for spray products including deodorants, hairsprays and more. However, significant buyer power of consumers in this segment leads to pricing competition among manufacturers.
While aluminum supply was impacted during the pandemic, growing demand for aerosols with antiviral and antibacterial properties presents opportunities. Increasing shelf life and convenience provided by aerosol packaging across food, pharmaceuticals and other applications will further expand the market. However, raw material price volatility due to events like the Russia-Ukraine conflict poses challenges.
