The British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA) reported that aerosol industry in UK exceeded expectations in 2020 despite the COVID-19 challenges. Aerosol production was above 1.5 billion units, down by 1.3% down on 2019.
On the categories wise, production for hard surface cleaners stood at above 50 million units in 2020, up by 255% from 14 million in 2019. Veterinary products output grew by 170% while household product filling witnessed a general increase due to pandemic.
The demand for insecticides rose due to work from home culture. This category increased by 40%, said BAMA.
The sales of hairspray sales declined by nearly 5% while other cosmetic products, such as suntan and bronzing sprays reduced by two-thirds. “There was an even bigger reduction for novelty products, which include silly strings and glitter sprays (commonly used for parties); the segment reduced to a quarter of 2019’s output,” worldaerosols.com reported.

UK aerosol manufacturers continue to export to the EU and around the world. BAMA expects same growth in the coming years, following new trade deals by the UK Government.
