Chinese aerosol market
remains on the upswing
Strong growth continues with 5.7% increase over last year
The future remains bright for the
Chinese aerosol market, with trends
suggesting continued, stable longterm
growth, according to the Aerosol
Committee of China Packaging Federation
(ACCPF). Overall aerosol product output in
China totaled over two billion units in 2016,
an increase of 5.7% over 2015’s 1.9 billion.
All categories showed steady growth,
with the exception of Insect Control, which
dipped almost 2.9% in 2016 to 340 million
filled.
The aerosol Food category, which was new
to the Chinese survey in 2015, has remained
steady at one million. According to the ACCPF,
consumption of aerosol foods in China
is greater than production, with the former at
five million and the latter 0.8 to one million.
This indicates an area of potential future
growth. Spray
