US aerosol fillings rose slightly to nearly 3.8 billion units last year, according to the Consumer Specialty Products Association, making 2014 the second best year for aerosols in the US, trailing only 2012's totals. Taking a broader view, in North America (which includes Canada, Mexico and the US and Puerto Rico), fillings rose in 2014 to an estimated 4.52 billion units— an historic high. The survey findings are an annual indicator of the business strength of the aerosol products industry.


“The CSPA’s comprehensive snapshot of the North American and US aerosol industry is a powerful tool that businesses have used for more than a half century to inform planning, investment, sales, and research and development decisions,” said Chris Cathcart, CSPA president and CEO.
