The European aerosol industry is reporting a return to growth for 2024: according to the latest industry overview from the European Aerosol Federation (FEA), over 3.4 billion cans were produced in the EU. The largest producers are Germany, France and Italy; together with the Netherlands and Spain, they account for more than 2.9 billion units.<\/strong><\/p>\n

After three subdued years, the development curve is pointing upwards again: in 2024, EU production will total 3.460 billion units (previous year: 3.343 billion). At the same time, the FEA confirms the dominant role of the three largest manufacturing countries, which together account for over 60 per cent of the EU total.<\/p>\n

Segments: personal care ahead, household stable<\/h3>\n

In terms of segments, personal care leads with a 47.8 per cent market share, followed by household with 17.3 per cent; \u201eOthers\u201c (including paints\/varnishes, automotive, food, pharmaceuticals\/vets) account for 34.9 per cent. In the detailed overview, deodorants\/antiperspirants stand out with around 824 million units; in household sprays, air fresheners are the largest subgroup with 214 million cans. Other relevant volumes are attributable to paints\/varnishes (~303 million), automotive (219 million), food (267 million), industrial & technical (239 million), pharmaceuticals\/vets (77 million), care products (99 million) and cleaners (43 million).<\/p>

Material mix and global categorisation<\/h3>\n

Aerosol dispensers in the EU are predominantly made of steel and aluminium; glass and plastic only play a minor role. In a global comparison, the EU (data basis 2023) remains one of the largest production locations with around 3.46 billion units, alongside the USA and China.<\/p>\n
