The Consumer Specialty Products Association’s (CSPA) 2011 Aerosol Pressurized Products Survey indicates an increase in US production during the past year, setting another record high with 36 million more units filled this year. This marks the highest year ever for aerosol production in the United States. The estimated total units filled in 2011 were 3.782 billion units. Research for the survey was conducted by the independent firm, Association Research, Inc.
Household products continue to rank as the highest production product category reporting a 2.4% increase over last year. Personal care products have also increased marginally, up 1% over last year. Much of the increase in personal care products was seen in perfumes and body spray.
The survey, which also reports the unit volume of aerosol packaging components manufactured and delivered for domestic use in 2011, as well as estimates for Canadian and Mexican production, has served for 61 years as the primary index of the business strength of the aerosol products industry.
In other news, CSPA supports the recommendations set forth by the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC) regarding the importance of keeping laundry detergent products out of the reach of children. These recommendations were made in light of recent reports regarding the unintentional ingestion of “single dose” laundry packets by children.

While CSPA strongly supports AAPCC’s advice to consumers and recognizes that safety is paramount regarding any household cleaning product, it should be emphasized that CSPA member companies manufacture products that are safe when used according to the directions on the label. Manufacturers are continuously focusing on the safety of cleaning products and packaging, as well as helping to prevent their products from reaching children. CSPA member companies also disseminate information through various communication channels to reach a broader base of consumers.
