History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424990-22 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the candle industry dates back to ancient times, where candles were made from tallow, beeswax, and other natural materials. The Romans are credited with developing the wick candle, which was made by dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax. In the Middle Ages, candles were made from tallow and beeswax, and they were used for lighting, religious ceremonies, and as a source of heat. The Industrial Revolution brought about the mass production of candles, and the introduction of paraffin wax in the 1850s made candles more affordable. In the United States, the candle industry experienced a resurgence in the 1990s, with the introduction of scented candles and decorative candles. Today, candles are used for a variety of purposes, including aromatherapy, home decor, and as a source of light during power outages.
