CSPA aerosol product industry survey reveals record high North American manufacturing
Survey shows continued long-term growth for aerosol products
The Consumer Specialty Products Association (www.cspa.org, CSPA) releases the results of its 2012 Aerosol Pressurized Products Survey, which serves as an annual indicator of the business strength of the aerosol products industry. For a third consecutive year, U.S. aerosol product production increased setting a new record high with more than 3.8 billion total units filled. The addition of 33 million more units filled – a 0.9% increase over the previous year – contributed to setting a new high mark for aerosol production in the United States. This year marks the 62nd year CSPA has conducted and released the results of this survey. Survey data were collected and verified by the independent firm, Association Research, Inc.
Highlighted in the survey findings, household products continue to rank as the largest product category (29% of all products) with a production increase of 2.8% over last year. Animal aerosol products, a small category which includes pesticides and grooming products that are used or sprayed directly on animals, showed the greatest percent gain with a 31% increase in production.
