Aerosol Caps Market Overview
Aerosol Caps Market size is estimated to reach US$1.1 billion by 2027 after growing at a CAGR of 4.0% from 2022-2027. An aerosol cap is a plastic lid that fits over aerosol or pressurized cans and bottles which are used in industrial and consumer products. The cap is made of polypropylene polymer while the bottle or container is usually made of tinplated steel or aluminum. These caps function by creating the required amount of pressure on the valve and as it is directly attached to it, so it enables the valve to expel the liquid or gas material outside the can or bottle container. This cap is used in various application sectors like automobile, household, personal care, medical, etc. The drivers that have positively impacted the growth of the aerosol caps market are an increase in demand for aerosol spray paint in sectors like personal care, automotive, etc. rapid advancement in aerosol products like cans. However, aerosol products contain volatile organic compounds which makes them a hazardous substance, hence to prevent their negative impact on human health certain regulations laid down by government organizations have hampered the growth of the aerosol caps industry.
COVID-19 Impact
The unfavorable effects left by COVID-19 harmed the functionality of various industrial sectors like consumer goods, packaging, automobiles, etc. As there was a lockdown and other social restrictions implemented by governments across the world, so this caused a reduction in productivity of the industrial sector which led to high loss incurring and job cutting. Aerosol caps are used in personal care items like deodorants, cream lotion, talcum, etc., and various household and automobile applications. Hence with the reduction in productivity in such sectors, the demand for aerosol caps also decreased in them. For instance, as per the International Organization of Motor Vehicle Manufacturing, in 2020 there was a 16% global decline in vehicles production with all major producing regions like the U.S, Brazil, Germany having a sharp decline of 11% to 44% and Europe saw a drop of 21% on average. Hence as aerosol cap is used in automotive spray paint cans, so with the reduction in the production of automobiles, the demand for aerosol caps is also reduced.

Moreover, Woodland, a leading footwear brand has also introduced a range of deodorants in the Indian market as a part of the spring and summer 2021 collection. Hence with the introduction of such new deodorants, the demand for aerosol cap products to be used in them will also increase.
Aerosol Caps Market Segment – By Application
Spray cans held the largest share in the aerosol caps market in 2021 with a share of over 40%. This is due to factors like aerosol spray cans are portable, inexpensive, and easy to store hence making them idle for household applications like interior wall painting. The cans used in spray paint are usually made of aluminum or steel which can safely contain pressurized air, liquid. Hence the evolution of spray paint cans has brought certain customization in aerosol caps which has made them more usable in other variety of applications many of which are within the automotive industry. With the growing demand for light vehicles and two-wheelers, the demand for aerosol spray products like automotive spray paint will also increase which would create demand for aerosol caps. For instance, as per the European Association of Motorcycle Manufacturers, in European markets like France, Germany, Italy, Spain the two-wheeler production and registration rose by 10.6% in 2021 from last year. Hence with an increase in two-wheeler production the demand for spray paint which is used as a cleaner, degreaser will also increase, thereby positively impacting demand for the aerosol caps.
Aerosol Caps Market Segment – By End-user
Personal Care held the largest share in the aerosol caps market in 2021 with a share of over 40%. This owns to factors like the introduction of new products formant, gender-specific personal care items, and increasing use of aerosol propellants in hair sprays, deodorants, shampoos, etc. Various regions are seeing a steady increase in sales and demand for personal care & cosmetics products in their markets.

Aerosol Caps Market Drivers
Rapid technological advancements
With new technologies being introduced in the market, hence the manufacturing process for aerosol products like cans and caps has become efficient and innovative designs can be produced. For instance, in 2020 a US-based company Ball Corporation with the help of its innovative 360-degree technology created unique shapes of aluminum cans, and a Canada-based company Montebello Packaging created an innovative designed Farms maple seed aluminum can through dry dot screening and color separation technology. Adoption of such technologies would enable aerosol manufacturers to add new innovative designs in aerosol containers and caps. With consumers especially in the personal care & household sector wanting cans and containers that have ergonomic appeal and are easy to use, hence this would create demand for these new products in such sectors.
Growing demand for spray paints by the automotive sector
Besides having high demand in the personal and cosmetics sector the aerosol spray is gaining traction in other sectors too like automotive. Aerosol spray is used as automotive spray paint enhancing the appearance of vehicles, especially the two-wheeler. For instance, in 2021 demand for motorcycles and ATVs in the U.S increased up to 24.1% in Q3 as compared to 2019. Moreover, as per the March 2021 report of the Insurance Institute of Highway Safety, the number of on-road motorcycle registration in the U.S increased from 4.3 million in 2002 to 8.6 million in 2021. With the growing demand for a two-wheeler, the demand for aerosol technology in cleaning, detailing, and lubricating applications for two-wheelers will also increase. Hence such demand will positively impact the growth of the aerosol caps industry as with an increase in usage of spray paints the usage of aerosol caps in them will also increase.
Aerosol Caps Market Challenges
Stringent government regulation
The active ingredient in an aerosol can is highly toxic consisting of a chemical substance which if inhaled by human will damage their health, moreover, the waste created by aerosol cans is very hazardous. Hence to prevent the formation of such waste, the following regulation is being passed by government organizations. For instance, in 2021 the proposed amendments made by the U.S Environment Protection agency in Clean Air Act under National volatile organic compounds emission standards limit the emission of volatile organic compounds created by aerosol products like spray painting. Hence such regulation would negatively affect the growth of aerospace cans and containers, thereby decreasing demand for aerosol caps in the U.S market.
