factory shipment report

Factory shipment report: AHAM's paid monthly tally of major-appliance units shipped from US and Canadian factories. It ships as named-user calendar-year subscriptions at USD 1,350 non-member (USD 350 member, observed), with reproduction or redistribution of the report in whole or part prohibited.

In this catalog it shows up concretely:

• AHAM — Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers Industry Data & Verifide — Per-product-category monthly shipment units (subscription); web-scraping delivery, quality score 5/10, freemium.

Coverage runs through the current calendar year at monthly granularity, delivered quarterly, and Annual Shipment Trends reach back to 1989 - so the report is the current-volume measure while history sits in the trends series.

It is the industry-standard sell-through-free measure of appliance production volume: shipments counted at the factory door, before retail sell-through muddies them.

Licence terms are part of the price. The cataloged terms state that reproduction or redistribution of the report in whole or part is prohibited and data may only be used in narrative or graphical form - so you cannot republish the underlying table, only describe it.

Credentials may not be shared either: the subscription is per person, per calendar year, at USD 1,350 for non-members or USD 350 for members. A five-analyst team therefore buys five subscriptions, not one seat.

Budget for the shape of the access as well: the catalog records this source as web-scraping delivery, which means no bulk file lands in your warehouse without manual handling.

To check that a vendor really sells factory shipment reporting on AHAM's model, work through:

1. Confirm the unit of sale. Per-person calendar-year subscription (USD 1,350 non-member / USD 350 member observed) - anything sold as a company-wide licence is a different product.

1. Confirm the cadence matches your need. Monthly granularity delivered quarterly suits quarterly reviews, not monthly flash tracking.

1. Read the use restriction before you plan outputs. Narrative or graphical use only, redistribution prohibited - dashboards that republish tables breach it.

1. Check how far back you can go. Annual Shipment Trends back to 1989 covers history; the subscription covers the current calendar year.

1. Get update cadence in writing: only 22.6% of the 1,744 cataloged datasets update daily, so "always current" needs evidence.
