2018 Aerosol Production in Argentina
in 2018. According to Camara Argentina del
Aerosol (CADEA), production was at 810 million
units, down from 931.6 million units in 2017.
Personal Care (435.8 million) accounted for more
than half of total aerosol fillings. The
vast majority of Personal Care products
filled were AP/Deos at 416.3 million
units, followed by Pharmaceuticals
(13.5 million) and Hair Care products
(3.1 million).
Insecticides were the second largest category
at 173 million, followed by Household
Care products at nearly 157 million products
filled. The strongest sub-category in Household
Care was Air Fresheners, at 125.2 million.
Other products numbered 38.1 million, with Party
String products garnering the largest share at 20.5
million. Food aerosols accounted
for 6.1 million fillings and grew
24.49%.
According to reports in August at
www.cosmeticosbr.com.br, Beiersdorf
invested R$300 million ($73.3
million) to double its capacity at
its Itatiba, Brazil plant to move
production of aerosol deodorants,
including its Nivea Sem Perfume
and Nivea Men Silver Protect lines,
from Argentina. This caused the
shuttering of Beiersdorf’s Argentina
plant. Spray
