Growth for Aluminium Cans

The member companies of Aerobal, the International Organisation of Aluminium Aerosol Container Manufacturers, account for the lion’s share of all aluminium cans produced. The organisation’s 26 members reported total production of just over 6 billion cans in 2018. It was the first time that the assoiation’s companies have crossed the 6-billion-can threshold. They thus represent about three quarters of all aluminium aerosol cans produced globally.

The trend in the two most important regional markets, Europe and North America, was stable at a high level, with only minor changes. In contrast, the emerging markets in Central and South America and the Asia-Pacific region emphasised once again in 2018 their above-average potential for the future with solid single-digit growth. However, the largest growth leap, albeit from a relatively low level, was made in the Middle East, with double-digit rates of growth.
