AEROBAL reports aluminium aerosol cans growth at record levels

The International Organization of Aluminium Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL) has announced its sales report of 2016 stating an increase in YoY growth of three per cent and production about 5.5 billion aluminium cans globally. Asian market has achieved the highest growth while North, Central and South America are above-average growth in aerosol cans, as reported.

AEROBAL’s Secretary General Gregor Spengler hopes for further growth of aluminium aerosol cans above all in the Asian markets. The region’s per capita consumption of aerosol cans is still well below the global average.

In 2016, deodorants and perfumes were the major parts of application of aluminium aerosol cans produced with more than 50 per cent while the other applications areas are in the cosmetics sector, to sum it up the personal care sector minted for about 80 per cent of all aerosol cans produced.

Gregor added: “I see clear opportunities for further gains in the pharma sector. Here it is primarily the outstanding functional properties of aluminium aerosol cans that will ensure growth. I am thinking primarily of excellent product protection and best possible safety where aluminium scores over other materials.”

 “On top of its [aluminium] abundance of functional benefits, this is a further important argument in favour of the aluminium aerosol can, which thus makes a valuable and resource-efficient contribution to the future of our planet,” he concluded.
