Question ID: 718375
I need to know approximately how many consumer products are released each year
in the USA.  How many of those products are new in a given year and
how many are previously existing products.  

I define "product" as meaning anything that has a unique SKU, UPC
code, or is otherwise marked as a distinct.  I define "consumer
product" as any  product that principally targets individuals though I
recognize this might be hard to know from the data, so I would settle
for just the total number of products released/year.

I need the answer broken down by SIC or some other classification
system that tells me what sort of item the SKU/product is (ie
cosmetics, automotive, consumer electronics, etc).

Sources must be listed.

grg13-ga,

I'm not sure what you have in mind when you distinguish new products
from existing products.

How can an existing product be newly released during the year?

Can you clarify what you need, here?

Thanks,

pafalafa-ga

Check http://www.upcdatabase.com/stats.asp, it looks like about 95,000
products per year
