Global aerosol propellants market worth $24.8 billion by 2020

Global Aerosol Propellants Market is anticipated to reach USD 24.8 billion by 2020, as per a new research report by Radiant Insights, Inc. Increasing popularity of personal care and cosmetics products such as hair sprays, deodorants and shaving creams among young population is likely to drive the demand. Increasing geriatric population is also expected to positively influence demand for anti-ageing products particularly in U.S., Europe and Japan.

Increasing infrastructure spending in emerging economies such as China Indonesia and India is likely to drive its demand for spray paint applications. Favorable support from regulatory bodies such as U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), as they not contribute towards global warming, is likely to surge demand.

Hydrocarbons dominated the product segment and accounted for over 80% of the market demand in 2014. Ethane, propane, n-butane and isobutene are used as hydrocarbon propellants and are comparatively low cost and less toxic when compared to other counterparts. This factor is likely to increase hydrocarbon propellants demand. DME and methyl ethyl product was the second largest with an estimated market valuation of approximately USD 1.87 billion in 2013.
