Worldwide Aluminum Aerosol Can Production Tops Seven Billion Wide ranges of sizes and shapes. World-Class quality. Competitive pricing. May 2014 Spray 47 The International Organization of Aluminum Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL) reported record results in 2013. The industry continued its upward trend as output rose by approximately 2% to more than seven billion cans, despite economic turbulence worldwide and a slowdown in growth in several of the largest emerging markets in Asia and South America. Aluminum cans account for nearly 50% of the total worldwide output of aerosol cans. AEROBAL Secretary General Gregor Spengler indicated that further prospects for aluminum are positive, even though the global economic environment has become more difficult. “In the current economic situation, it is not easy to give a forecast,” explained Spengler. “However, we continue to see substantial potential for growth in the emerging markets of Asia and South America, whereas the European market seems comparatively saturated. Disposable per capita income is on the rise. This rise, combined with the functionality of aerosol packaging and the resulting growth in its popularity, specifically in these regions, makes us optimistic overall about a promising trend for aluminum aerosol cans in the global packaging market.” About 80% of total production continues to go to cosmetics. Noteworthy growth in the pharmaceutical and food industries indicates promising market opportunities, according to AEROBAL. Aluminum’s barrier, monobloc (one-piece) technology and hygenic characteristics play a crucial role in the selection of packaging, particularly in these rising markets.
