The U.S. aerosol industry set a record for total units filled in 2010, according to results of the 60th annual Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) Aerosol Pressurized Products Survey. The estimated total units filled in 2010 was 3.745 billion, which establishes the historical high for fillings in the U.S. and exceeds by almost seven million units the 2005 record.
Household and personal care products rank as the two highest production product categories, with household products reporting a 9.2% increase in 2010 over 2009.
“The new report confirms that aerosol products continue to be popular among consumers,” said CSPA President & CEO Chris Cathcart. “This industry delivers to the marketplace a variety of innovative products—from first aid to food products, from air care to automotive care—via this unique packaging form which offers convenience and efficiency.”
The survey, which also reports the unit volume of aerosol packaging components manufactured and delivered for domestic use in 2010, as well as estimates for Canadian and Mexican production, has served for 60 years as the primary index of the business strength of the aerosol products industry. The survey was released during CSPA’s Mid-Year Meeting in Chicago. Illinois is the aerosol capitol of the U.S., producing more than one third of all aerosol products made in the U.S.
With strong growth in Mexico and Canada as well as the U.S., CSPA estimates total North American aerosol production in 2010 as 4.227 billion units, also a historic high. North America maintains an approximate one-third market share of global aerosol production.
Other highlights of the survey include:
· Household product filings increased 9.2%, reversing 2009’s 3.6% loss and bringing the category back to being the highest production sector.
· Food product fillings increased 3.4% and have increased nine of the past ten years.
· Insect spray fillings increased for the first time since 2007 with 10.7 percent more fillings than 2009.
“We commend the CSPA Survey Committee for their hard work to help make this year’s survey a comprehensive and reliable picture of the industry,” Cathcart said.
