Market Trends of Aerosol Industry

- Aerosol products can be applied without contact, protecting users from infections and reducing the risk of burns or lacerations. Furthermore, the sealed package prevents product contamination. As a result, the demand for aerosol has surged in the personal care market. Aerosol cans are one of the best choices for packaging across the personal care and cosmetics industry. Since aerosol cans hold high recycling rates, the demand for aerosol cans tends to rise in terms of sustainability.
