The International Organization of Aluminum Aerosol Container Manufacturers (AEROBAL) reports that global deliveries from its members increased by 4.4 percent to just over 3.4 billion units in the first half of 2024.

Market growth is primarily driven by strong demand from the quantitatively dominant sectors of deodorants and hairsprays, which saw increases of 7 and 8 percent, respectively. Demand from the pharmaceutical sector also grew positively by around 3 percent. Deliveries to the less significant food sector were particularly satisfactory, rising by as much as 12 percent.
