THE RISE OF AEROSOLS
Dr John Morris, CEO of the British Aerosol Manufacturers’ Association (BAMA), looks at the trends driving aerosol production across Europe
European aerosol production figures are looking strong – and nowhere is stronger than the UK.
BAMA reported earlier this year that the previous year (2011) had seen an upturn in filling figures for aerosol of over nine per cent – a staggering achievement when reviewed against the general economic picture which has seen a 10 per cent decline in manufacturing over the five years between 2006 and 2011.
European aerosol filling figures stood at 5,535 million units in 2011 compared with 4,676 million units a decade ago. Since 1995, production has increased by just under two billion units in nearly 20 years – an average of just under 100m aerosols per year over this period reaching the highest it has been.
