France fills almost 704 million aerosols in 2014 The number of aerosol cans filled in France in 2014 totaled 703.7 million (541.05 million aluminum; 152.65 million steel), according to the Comité Français des Aérosols (CFA). This is an increase of 52.6 million units (8.1%) over 2013, which saw fillings of 651 million. This is the second consecutive year of significant growth, following a jump of 17.3% in 2013. The production increase can partly be explained by the transfer of operations to France. According to the CFA, a large filler recently centralized all of its European production to its French plant, producing an additional 80 millions units of Personal Care products over the past two years. Personal Care products were indeed the leader, with 395.4 million units filled (384.8 million aluminum; 10.6 million Production (in millions) Aluminum Steel Total Personal Care 384.80 10.60 395.40 Deodorants/Antiperspirants 173.60 4.10 177.70 Hair Mousse 30.65 -- 30.65 Hairsprays 77.40 2.80 80.20 Shaving Mousse 12.45 3.70 16.15 Shaving Gel 15.40 -- 15.40 Others 75.30 -- 75.30 Household 10.00 66.15 76.15 Insecticide/Plant Protection 3.60 15.10 18.70 Textile/Fabric Care -- 3.20 3.20 Air Fresheners 4.30 35.10 39.40 Furniture Waxes/Polishes -- 0.55 0.55 Oven Cleaners -- 3.30 3.30 Bathroom/Kitchen Cleaning Mousse 30 Spray November 2015 -- 2.10 2.10 Shoe/Leather Care 0.30 0.90 1.20 Others 1.80 5.90 7.70 Automotive 2.65 4.20 6.85 Paints & Varnishes -- 12.10 12.10 Industrial/Technical 11.20 31.80 43.00 Pharmaceutical/Veterinary 128.90 3.70 142.60* Food 2.40 23.00 25.40 Miscellaneous 1.10 1.10 2.20 Total 541.05 152.65 703.70 *In addition to aluminum and steel fillings, France produced five million glass and five million plastic aerosol pharmaceutical/veterinary products in 2014 steel).

The amount of aerosols in aluminum cans increased to 78%, influenced by the increase in personal care products. The CFA noted an increase in Glass and Plastic aerosols from one million to 10 million over the past two years, considering this confirmation of Europe’s motivation to change regulations and make them more open to innovation while maintaining a high level of safety that ensures the consumer’s confidence in aerosol products.
