America’s Firework Boom This Fourth

America’s 250th birthday is sparking a massive fireworks boom—with sales projected to hit $2.5 billion this summer, up from $1 billion in 2019. The pandemic jump-started backyard celebrations, fueling steady growth since. Record-breaking volumes of fireworks were used in recent years, and despite last year’s dip, shelves are stocked for the big anniversary. Patriotic red, white, and blue displays featuring eagles and Uncle Sam dominate this year’s theme. Earlier trade concerns with China caused delays, but supply chains are now stable. Industry leaders are optimistic, though some buyers may be budget-conscious amid economic pressures. Celebrate safely and follow local laws—this Fourth of July promises big skies and bigger memories.
