This year’s third quarter was a good period for suppliers of aluminium packaging. Especially producers of aerosol cans reported persistently brisk demand, while suppliers of beverage cans expressed their satisfaction with business in the summer months. In general, the market was characterized by strong demand for aluminium packaging, according to EUWID respondents. Even if the packaging segment was only of secondary importance with a 12% share of the German aluminium market in 2009 , the industry does play an important role in a global context.
