Pepper spray, also known as OC spray (from "oleoresin capsicum"), is a non-lethal chemical compound that is used primarily for self-defense and personal protection. It is derived from natural capsicum extracts (peppers) and contains a concentration of capsaicinoids, which are the active components causing the burning sensation when sprayed on the eyes and ski.

The production capacity of Pepper Spray for Personal Protection reaches 1800 k units, and the industry's gross profit margin is approximately between 30% and 50%.

The widespread use of pepper spray for personal protection is driven by multiple factors, including increased public awareness of security, heightened safety awareness among women and vulnerable groups, increased travel risks due to the booming urban nighttime economy, and the growing trend towards legalizing non-lethal self-defense tools. With the growth of the single-person population and the normalization of shared mobility and remote work, individuals have significantly increased their demand for controllable, portable, easy-to-use protective measures with low legal risks. Simultaneously, continuous optimization of product design, such as the addition of safety locks, integrated lighting and alarm functions, and the introduction of gel anti-drift technology, has further reduced the risk of accidental injury and increased user confidence, propelling pepper spray from an emergency backup option to an important part of everyday safety equipment.
