Market Overview

---

The North America Aerosol Cans Market is projected to reach USD 4.85 billion by 2028, with a CAGR of 3.05% during the forecast period (2023-2028). These cans serve as packaging options equipped with a valve for dispensing their contents. While some are made of plastic, the majority are manufactured using aluminum and steel.

The shipment volume of aerosol cans in the North American market was estimated to be 4.03 billion units in the previous year. Over the next five years, this figure is expected to reach 4.85 billion units. The growth of the aerosol can market is driven by the reusability and recyclability of these cans. Made from metal, glass, or plastics like PET, they can be recycled indefinitely, offering cost advantages and addressing disposal concerns. Furthermore, adhering to environmental regulations enables vendors to contribute to sustainability goals through their products.

The cosmetics and personal care industries are instrumental in driving market growth, fueled by increasing disposable incomes, evolving consumer lifestyles, product presentation and differentiation, and the growing demand for items such as deodorants and hairsprays. Aluminum, due to high demand, is rapidly gaining popularity in these markets.

Demand for personal care products including antiperspirants, deodorants, hair sprays, hair mousses, and shaving mousses is expected to further expand the market. For instance, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported an average Consumer Price Index of 186.93 for perfume, cosmetics, nail preparations, baths, and implements in US cities in January 2023, up from 176.82 in January 2022.

However, consumers in the cosmetics and personal care sector hold significant bargaining power due to increased competition and the availability of interchangeable products from various producers. This may compel manufacturers to lower prices, posing a substantial barrier for the aerosol cans industry. Additionally, disruptions in the supply chain during the COVID-19 pandemic hindered the expansion of the aluminum sector due to rising energy prices.

There has been a notable trend of growing demand for spray products with antiviral and antibacterial properties driven by consumers’ concerns about contracting COVID-19. As lockdown restrictions were lifted, companies resumed production activities and introduced smaller-sized aerosol cans to cater to widespread customer pandemic fears.

Aerosol cans in the packaging industry have been enhanced to provide efficient solutions for storage, transportation, and consumer convenience. These packaging solutions meet various requirements for storage, transportation, and convenience.

The growth of the personal care sector in the United States is expected to drive the demand for aerosol cans. The expansion of the personal care industry can be attributed to consumers’ increased disposable income and their ability to purchase luxury goods. Aerosols are widely used in personal care products, and the rising sales of these products are expected to benefit the aerosol can market.

In recent years, the high production demands for deodorants and antiperspirants have led to the installation of more production lines in North America. North America holds a significant share of the market, largely driven by the increasing demand from the personal care segment, which includes deodorants, antiperspirants, hair mousses, hair sprays, shaving mousses, and other products.

Compared to other packaging types, aluminum cans have a higher recycling rate and contain more recycled content. The Aluminum Association reports that aluminum is one of the most recycled materials on the market, saving over 90% of the energy required to produce new metal and reducing production costs. In the United States, two aluminum cans are recycled for every three cans shipped across the region.

Furthermore, about 70% of plastic collected for recycling in the United States ends up in landfills. This has contributed to the increasing emphasis on reducing carbon footprints and preventing climate change, which is driving the demand for aerosol cans in the region.

In July 2022, California experienced a shortage of aluminum cans due to various factors, including pandemic-related lockdowns that limited manufacturing. The closure of redemption centers and outdated policies have made recycling challenging for people, leading to insufficient collection of cans in California. As a result, the shortage has further increased the demand for aerosol cans in the United States.

The United States accounted for the largest share (89.63%) of the market in 2022, and it is expected to grow at a CAGR of 2.94% over the forecast period.
