History

A concise historical narrative of NAICS Code 449129-61 covering global milestones and recent developments within the United States.

  • Shears and scissors have been used for centuries, with the earliest known scissors dating back to ancient Egypt around 1500 BCE. The first pair of modern scissors was invented in 1761 by Robert Hinchliffe, a manufacturer from Sheffield, England. The industrial revolution brought mass production of scissors and shears, and by the 19th century, the industry had expanded to include a wide range of cutting tools. In the United States, the industry grew rapidly in the early 20th century, with the introduction of new materials and manufacturing techniques. Today, the shears and scissors retail industry continues to evolve, with new designs and materials being introduced regularly. Recent history in the United States has seen a shift towards online sales, with many retailers offering their products through e-commerce platforms. The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated this trend, with many consumers opting to shop online rather than in-store. Despite this, brick-and-mortar stores remain an important part of the industry, with many consumers preferring to see and handle products before making a purchase. The industry has also seen an increase in demand for high-quality, artisanal products, as consumers seek out unique and handmade items. Overall, the shears and scissors retail industry in the United States has remained stable in recent years, with moderate growth expected in the coming years.
