COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis:  

● The Covid-19 outbreak and consequent economic crisis impacted the scented candle business in both the home and commercial segments. Because scented candles are luxury items, people with lower disposable resources have been discouraged from purchasing them. In the commercial category, the downturn in the hotel business, which accounted for the majority of scented candle sales, is expected to last for several years. Because of these variables, scented candle makers will compete in terms of product pricing.

● The supply chain disruption due to the Russia-Ukraine war has impeded the Scented Candles Market growth. The disruption has increased freight charges, created container shortages and lowered the availability of warehousing space. This has resulted in inflationary issues in the aftermarket. 

Key Takeaways:

● Fastest Growth of Asia Pacific Region

The scented candles market in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to experience rapid growth due to the development of infrastructure related to grocery stores and shopping malls in countries like China and India, which is expected to boost sales in the region. A report released by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), stated that in 2023, the number of traditional grocery retailers in India increased to 17.54 million from 16.25 million in 2022. Moreover, the rise in income levels and increased spending on travel and tourism activities among the population is expected to fuel demand for scented candles in restaurants and hotels in the region.

● Paraffin Wax Scented Candles are highly in Demand

The luxury candle market extensively uses paraffin wax scented candles due to their convenient availability and easy handling, surpassing other wax types. Participants in this industry are focused on blending paraffin wax with innovative fragrances that deeply resonate with their customer base. Additionally, they have made significant investments in research and development to create exceptional products. In February 2022, The Yankee Candle Company, Inc. introduced a new signature collection comprising of more than 30 container candles meticulously crafted from paraffin wax. These candles underwent a comprehensive redesign, catering to both new and loyal customers, and offering exclusive scents like wild orchid, iced berry lemonade, and ocean air.

● Rising Demand for Organic and Eco-Friendly Candles

Due to the growing demand for organic and environmentally friendly candles, commonly referred to as green candles, manufacturers are expanding their production to include materials other than paraffin, such as beeswax and soy wax. Beeswax and soy wax candles, when burned, do not release any harmful gases. However, the increasing popularity of organic candles has led to further fragmentation in the market. This trend is also observed in the selection of candle scents, as producers are substituting chemical fragrances with natural, plant-based compounds. Additionally, some manufacturers have focused on creating products that can eliminate smoke, such as Smoke Odor Exterminator Candles.

● Rising Demand for Scented Candles for Home Decoration

The increasing popularity of home decor trends is fueling the demand for decorative scented candle boxes. Additionally, scented candles find extensive use in hotels and restaurants for embellishing dining tables and creating a delightful candlelit dining experience for guests. As a result, the growing infrastructure development in the hotel and restaurant industry is expected to contribute to the market's growth.

● Concerns about toxic chemicals produced by candle smoke may impede market expansion.

One of the primary concerns regarding scented candles is that when they are burned, harmful substances may be released into the air. Several of the compounds present in candle smoke, such as benzene and formaldehyde, have been linked to a variety of health concerns, including respiratory disorders and even cancer. As people become more aware of the potential health dangers linked with scented candles, the market's growth may be stifled. Customers may become more wary of burning scented candles in their homes, and some may even discontinue using them entirely.
