The global air duster market size is expected to be worth USD 136 million in 2021 and is projected to touch USD 203.85 million by 2031, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.1% during the forecast period.

Air duster is a type of canned air that is used to clean computers and other devices or objects that cannot be cleaned using other methods. Inhaling the gases emitted by this duster produces a brief but euphoric high, as well as side effects such as hallucinations and dizziness, among many others. Because it is easily accessible at home or in a store, air duster is a popular drug of abuse among younger teens, though adults may also abuse these household items to get high. This device can be used to blow cookie crumbs from a keyboard, clear computer vents, and even open up tight apertures in an SMT (surface mount technology) stencil during PCB assembly. It's one of those products that appears simple but leads to numerous misconceptions.

Air duster abuse is very common in those who are looking for a quick, cheap high. Because it is a household item, this type of duster is inexpensive, legal, and simple to obtain. Many people who use air duster may see it as a thrilling and enjoyable experience rather than what it is: dangerous substance abuse with long-term consequences. Spray a short three to five-second blast at room temperature to get the most force out of a can of duster. When an aerosol duster is continuously sprayed, it acts as an efficient heat sink and cools down. The lower the temperature of the can, the lower the internal pressure of the can, and the lower the generated force.

COVID-19 Impact: Halt on Consumer Goods to Hamper Market

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the global air duster market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden surge in CAGR is attributable to demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative impact on the Air Duster Market. Due to the lockdown and social distancing norms, major corporations have suspended operations in various locations. The pandemic put an enormous strain on supply chains due to a lack of raw materials, and lockdowns forced the closure of factories and production units. Following the pandemic, the industry anticipates increased demand and supply due to rapid urbanisation and the growing need for efficient use of available space.

Latest Trends

"Rise in Automotive Industry to Drive the Market Growth"

The automotive manufacturing industry has been transformed by advanced computer technologies, automated assembly systems, and high-quality compressed air systems. Automobiles are now made of more durable and lightweight composite materials, such as plastics. Compressed air tools are used during assembly to create auto parts as well as to power lifting, positioning, moving, and fastening machines. It is used to make critical vehicle components like door panels and trunks.

Compressed air is used in both the cleaning and painting processes. To ensure an even finish, the compressed air used while painting the car must be free of water and contaminants. Spray guns in garages and body shops are also powered by low pressure, oil-free compressed air. To prevent clumping and to mix the colour for consistency, compressed air is used to agitate the paint in a bath.

Driving Factors

"Usage of Air Dusters in Rapidly Expanding Electronic Industry to Drive the Market Growth"

Increase in the usage of electronic devices requires further cleaning which can be done using these air dusters, thereby driving the market growth. An air duster aids in the prevention of malfunctions and increases the operating life of electronic equipment. It removes dust from surfaces such as keyboards and sensitive electronics where moisture is not desired while leaving no residue. It is also nonflammable and will not scratch sensitive surfaces. These factors increase the market demand for gas dusters.

"Usage of Air Dusters for Cleaning Dust to Drive the Market Growth"

The growing use of air dusters in homes, offices, and industries to safely and effectively remove microscopic dust, lint, and foreign particles from computers, office equipment, telecommunications devices, A/V equipment, laboratory instruments, medical devices, photographic equipment, electronic instruments, and other items contributes to the growth of the gas duster market.

Restraining Factors

"Health Issues Caused by Air Duster Fumes to Impede the Market Growth"

The air duster fumes, if inhaled can cause psychoactive effects and may be harmful to health, reducing market demand. Inhaling these fumes causes a "air duster high," which can be extremely dangerous and life-threatening. People looking for a quick and easy high, on the other hand, will huff air duster to experience the euphoria and hallucinations, despite the numerous risks. An air duster high is brief, lasting only a few minutes. People will frequently continue to huff for several hours to prolong the high. This is a major factor responsible for impeding the air duster market growth.
