Aerosol production in Argentina faces challenges in 2018

In 2018, Argentina’s aerosol production decreased by 13.05%. According to camara Argentina del aerosol (cadea), the output was 810 million, down from 931.6 million in 2017.

“Personal care” (435.8 million pieces) accounts for more than half of all aerosol fillers. The vast majority of personal care products are AP / deos (416.3 million), followed by drugs (13.5 million) and hair care products
(3.1 million).

Pesticides were the second largest category, with 173 million pieces, followed by home care products, with nearly 157 million pieces. Among home care products, air fresheners have the highest sales volume, with a sales volume of 125.2 million.

There are 38.1 million other products, of which Party String products have the highest market share, reaching 20.5 million. Food aerosols accounted for 6.1 million fillings, an increase of 24.49%.

According to www.cosmeticosbr.com.br’s website in August, Bayer’s investment in 300 million rial ($73 million 300 thousand) doubled the capacity of its Brazil Itatiba plant, shifting the production of aerosol deodorant from Argentina, including Nivea Sem perfume and Nivea Men Silver Protect series. This led to the closure of Beiersdorf’s factory in Argentina.
