Aerosol fillings fell 2.1% to 3.568 billion units filled last year, according to the results of the 59th annual Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) Aerosol Pressurized Products Survey.
Despite the decline, the total represented the sixth highest year for U.S. aerosol production, with North America maintaining a one-third market share of global aerosol production. Personal care and household products rank as the two strongest product categories respectively, despite declines in both.
“Considering the state of our economy, aerosol product production remains strong,” said CSPA President Chris Cathcart. “The technology has allowed for creative ways to deliver products in this practical and easy to use form, which continue to be in high demand.”
The survey, which reports the unit volume of aerosols filled and shipped for domestic use in 2009, as well as estimates for Canadian and Mexican production, has served for more than half a century as the primary index of the business strength of the aerosol products industry, according to the Association. The survey was released today during CSPA’s Mid-Year Meeting in Chicago. Illinois is the aerosol capitol of the United States, producing 35% of all aerosol products made in the U.S.
The survey estimates overall unit production of 3.568 billion aerosols in the U.S. for 2009. This represents a 2.1% decrease from 2008, which was the fifth highest year for production at 3.643 billion units. 2005 was the highest year with 3.738 billion. CSPA estimates total North American aerosol production in 2009 as 3.994 billion units, representing a 1.2% decline from 2008.
