Aerosol Propellants Market Report by Type (Compressed Gas, Liquified Gas), Product Type (Hydrocarbons, Fluorocarbons, Nitrous Oxide and Carbon Dioxide, DME and Ethyl Methyl Ether, and Others), Application (Personal Care, Household, Medical, Automotive, Food and Beverage, and Others), and Region 2024-2032


The global aerosol propellants market size reached US$ 10.1 Billion in 2023. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 16.4 Billion by 2032, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4% during 2024-2032.

Aerosol propellants refer to liquified or compressed gases stored in aerosol cans to dispense liquids, pastes or powders with high pressure. The pressurized propellant is expelled out once the container valve in the can is opened. Some of the commonly used aerosol propellants include hydrocarbons, dimethyl ether (DME), methyl ethyl ether, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFC) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFC). They are widely used in antiperspirants, shaving creams, hair mousses and air fresheners and find extensive applications across various industries, including cosmetic, medical, food and beverage, automotive and household products.

Significant growth in the cosmetic industry, along with an increasing preference for aerosol products, represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. With the rapid urbanization across the globe, especially in the developing economies, there is a growing preference for aerosol-based household product formulations, such as insect repellants, disinfectants and air fresheners. In line with this, increasing application in the construction and automotive industry is also contributing to the market growth. For instance, aerosol paints are widely used for refurbishing cars and bikes to touch up dents and scratches and add aesthetically appealing designs on the body of the vehicle. The product innovations, such as the development of airless and Stahl Monoblock cans that use environment-friendly propellants, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. These cans have minimal volatile organic compounds (VOC), thereby increasing the overall utilization in health- and hygiene-related products. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with the continual launch of novel gender-specific personal care products, are anticipated to drive the market further.
