History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 424990-30 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • The history of the Cigar & Cigarette Lighters (Wholesale) industry dates back to the early 1900s when the first lighter was invented. The first lighter was a matchstick lighter, which was invented in 1903 by a German chemist named Johann Wolfgang Dobereiner. In 1910, the first cigarette lighter was invented by a Viennese inventor named Carl Auer von Welsbach. The lighter was called the "Auermetall" and was made of a flint and steel mechanism. In the 1920s, the first butane lighter was invented, which was a significant advancement in the industry. In the United States, the industry saw significant growth in the 1950s and 1960s, with the introduction of disposable lighters. The industry has continued to evolve with advancements in technology, such as the introduction of electronic lighters and rechargeable lighters. Recent history in the United States has seen a decline in the industry due to the decrease in smoking rates. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the percentage of adults who smoke cigarettes in the United States has decreased from 20.9% in 2005 to 14.0% in 2019. This decline has led to a decrease in demand for cigarette lighters. However, the industry has seen some growth due to the popularity of cigar smoking, which has led to an increase in demand for cigar lighters. The industry has also seen growth in the sale of novelty lighters, which are popular among collectors.
