Abstract

Is the air quality market getting smothered? Not quite, but in the coming years, it will be tougher for it to catch air. While SBI forecasts the U.S. market for air quality product manufacturing will grow to $221 million by 2012, this is on substantially softened growth due to tighter discretionary spending by consumers as a result of a softer U.S. economy. Players have faced difficulty in differentiating their products from competitors, which has led to a saturated marketplace with many like products offering few unique benefits.

Add to that, big box stores, which serve as large outlets for air quality products, have put enormous downward price pressure on suppliers. While no one can argue with improving efficiency and productivity, this pressure-coupled with increasing commodity prices-has meant tough times for the industry, especially for companies that are not well diversified. The key to survival in the coming years mill rely on cost reduction and innovation-two elements that in combination are challenging to any company.

This all-new SBI report contains comprehensive data and analysis on the U.S. market for air quality product manufacturing. The report focuses on portable air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers and the various combinations thereof for personal or household use, sold primarily in the U.S. small appliance market.

The report provides data on shipments, imports and exports for the air quality category and identifies key economic and market trends affecting the industry. It also profiles key manufacturers, highlighting their strengths, performance, product portfolios and significant recent events. Also included are marketing, distribution and retail overview, outlining aspects of getting the products to market, and a consumer demographic analysis.

This report estimates the U.S. market value for air quality product manufacturing using data from government sources, trade associations and their publications, business journals, company literature and investment reports. In most cases, historical data are provided for a 10-year period (1998-2007).

The U.S. market supply has been calculated from data provided by the U.S. Department of Commerce and its various bureaus. The data were collected from domestic plant shipments, adding imports and subtracting exports. The market size, therefore, is mathematically represented as shipments + (imports - exports). Note that the dollar values are net selling values-i.e., free on board (f.o.b.) from the manufacturing plant-and do not reflect retail/wholesale sales to the end consumer. Shipments refer to product shipped from the factory to distributors, which represents the supply side of the industry and not demand or actual sales.

Report data were gathered from several sources, including:

• Shipment statistics for air quality products-reports published by the U.S. Census Bureau, including the Annual Survey of Manufacturers (ASM) and the Current Industrial Report on Small Electrical Household Appliances
• Import and export data-the Commerce Department' s USA Trade Online website
• Revenues for manufacturers-company reports and SEC filings (In most cases, a company' s U.S. revenues specifically for air quality products were a small part of the company' s total revenues and were not stated. Where possible, SBI has provided estimates on sales of these products.)
• Consumer demographics data-the Simmons Market Research Bureau (New York, NY) spring 2007 consumer survey
