Europe Aerosol Container Market Trends

“2030 Europe aerosol container market value to reach USD 2.86 billion”

The Europe aerosol container market size was estimated at USD 2.27 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.4% from 2024 to 2030. The growth can be attributed to continuous cosmetics and personal care innovations, such as hair sprays, deodorants, and dry shampoos. The market is also growing owing to the presence of key market players with strong distribution networks throughout the region. They are deploying more products with aerosol container packaging due to their recyclability and reusability properties, as the containers are made from materials, such as metals and glass, further driving the market growth.

Improvement in the economic condition of the region, with countries, such as the UK and Germany growing, has increased disposable income levels and changed consumers' lifestyles. This has resulted in a rise in demand for aerosol container products. The market growth is also attributable to the growth in sectors, such as healthcare, household care, and personal care, with an increase in the use of innovative aerosol container products.

Material Insights

“The steel segment to witness a growth rate of 2.7%”

The aluminum segment dominated the market and accounted for the highest revenue share of 61.2% in 2023. The growth can be attributed to the material's reusability and recyclability. With the increased focus on sustainability, the preference for aluminum has increased due to its lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and recyclable properties. Aluminum also extends product shelf life due to its barrier properties, expanding its use in end use industries, such as packaging of personal care and healthcare products.

The steel material segment is expected to witness a CAGR of 2.7% from 2024 to 2030 owing to its availability and cost-effectiveness. Steel containers are used in the manufacturing of cost-sensitive products, including household cleaners, industrial sprays, and paints. Furthermore, steel containers provide excellent protection to the packaged products.

Type Insights

“The compressed gas propellant segment to witness a growth rate of 2.7%”

The liquified gas propellant segment dominated the market and accounted for a share of 64.0% in 2023. This can be due to the increased preference for products containing liquified gas propellant, as they provide stable and constant pressure, giving a uniform spray pattern. Furthermore, containers of this propellant have a better product evacuation, allowing the entire product to be used. Due to these properties, there is a high demand for liquified gas propellant containers in the personal care and household segments, which, in return, has contributed to the market growth.

The compressed gas propellant segment held a revenue share of 36.0% in 2023. This is due to the increased use of compressed gas propellants in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Compressed gas propellant is usually used in products that require less pressure, such as whipped cream cans and inhalers. Furthermore, compressed gas propellant's non-flammable and environmentally friendly properties support segment growth.

Product Insights

“The 3-piece cans segment to witness a growth rate of 2.9%”

The 1-piece cans segment dominated the market with a share of 66.5% in 2023. This is due to a rise in the growth of the personal care and household use industries in Europe that use aerosol cans for products, such as deodorants, air fresheners, hair sprays, and mousses. 1-piece cans provide a seamless, leak-proof design that is beneficial for products with higher internal pressures. Therefore, industries having products with high pressure use 1-piece cans rather than 3-piece cans, which are used for products with lower pressure.

The 3-piece cans segment accounted for a share of 33.5% in 2023. 3-piece cans are cost-effective and easily customizable with various shapes and sizes. Furthermore, there is a rise in the use of 3-piece cans in market segments, such as personal care and household, where these cans are used in manufacturing cooking sprays, hair sprays, and shaving creams. Therefore, these factors are responsible for the segment growth.

Application Insights

“The household segment to witness a growth rate of 4.2%”

The personal care segment dominated the market with a share of 34.6% in 2023. The growth is due to the rapidly expanding cosmetic industry, which, in turn, has augmented the demand for packaging in segments, such as cosmetics, skincare, and hair care. With a rise in disposable income levels in countries, such as the UK and Germany, there is a rise in personal grooming products, which provide convenience and efficiency. Due to their barrier properties, aerosol containers help enhance products’ shelf life.

The household segment accounted for a revenue share of 31.2% due to a rise in demand for various household products containing aerosol containers, such as food and cleaning sprays. With a change in consumers' lifestyles, the adoption of aerosol containers has increased in the household segment, as the containers are hygienic and convenient for use. Aerosol containers enhance the shelf life of products, which is an important factor in their high demand.

Country Insights
