According to the British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA), UK aerosol filling figures have remained robust. Following two years of strong year on year (y.o.y) increases, the sector has stabilized with overall growth of 0.1%. In 2013, 1,466.5 million cans were filled in total within the UK compared with 1,464.7 million units the previous year. The trend towards use of aluminum has continued with a virtual 50:50 split currently between aluminum and tin plate. In 2012, 740 million cans used tinplate and 707 million cans used aluminum; the data from 2013 indicates that 729 million cans were made of tinplate with aluminum following closely at 727 million, a significant closing of the gap between the two materials. Significant areas of growth were air fresheners, some personal care segments, hard surface household cleaners and industrial aerosols. Household Air fresheners increased by 9.8% y.o.y., with nearly 189 million aerosols filled in the UK. Hard surface cleaners increased by 22.5%, with just over 16 million cans, while oven cleaners, a relatively small category, rose by 20.3% to 1.1 million cans. Waxes and polishes, however, declined by 12.5% to just over 25 million units, reflecting the gradual decline in fillings for the segment since 2011. Shoe and leather treatments also showed a modest 2.1% increase, to 1.62 million. Continued on next page. July 2014 SPRAY 13
