A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 423990-13 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

• The history of the Fire Starters (Wholesale) industry dates back to the early 1900s when matches were the primary means of starting fires. The industry has since evolved with the introduction of new technologies and materials. In the 1960s, the first butane lighters were introduced, which were more convenient and safer than matches. In the 1980s, the industry saw the introduction of ferrocerium rods, which are still widely used today. These rods produce sparks when scraped with a metal object and are a popular choice for outdoor enthusiasts. In recent years, the industry has seen a rise in the popularity of fire starters made from recycled materials, such as sawdust and wax. In the United States, the industry has seen steady growth in the past decade, with an increasing number of people participating in outdoor activities and camping.
