Global aluminum aerosol can production on the rise The International Organization of Aluminum Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL) reported that its member companies produced approximately 2.9 billion aerosol cans in the first half of 2016, a boost of 4.5% compared with the corresponding period a year earlier. According to the organization, AEROBAL’s member companies account for about 70% of the world’s aluminum aerosol can production. “Given the current economic situation we cannot complain about this stable market growth,” said AEROBAL Secretary General Gregor Spengler. “It emphasizes the popularity of the aerosol can as a packaging material globally.” The positive performance of the aluminum aerosol can is primarily attributable to solid growth in the North and South American markets, which have recovered from a small dip in 2015. User markets in Asia were very robust and tended to be on the positive side. Despite the complicated and difficult economic environment in the Middle East, the markets there were also surprisingly stable and reported slight growth as well. In contrast, shipments in the largely saturated European market stagnated in the first half of the year. “Drivers for the gratifying growth globally were primarily deodorants, which have shown impressive growth for years,” explained AEROBAL President Eric Frantz. “However, other products from the cosmetic sector, like dry shampoos or shower foams, are enjoying ever greater popularity worldwide, too. In both the cosmetics and pharma sectors we are also witnessing a whole range of hidden marketing opportunities for aluminum aerosol cans thanks to its outstanding material properties. This will open up market potential and gives us reason to be optimistic about the future development of our industry despite the increasingly tougher competitive environment.” Spray AEROBAL releases stats for first half of 2016… December 2016 Spray 23
