Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising craft and decorating activities

It plays a key role now in festival celebrations, home decor, and crafts, but the candles are typically only a lightning instrument. Many candles are used every day in European and North American countries and even at festivals because of their religious beliefs, way of life, and habits. Customers are fascinated by the progress of the product candle, such as product shape, style, color, and aroma. Altering consumer attitudes and the rising popularity of craft materials and the decoration and interior design associated with candles has transcribed the traditional candle industry into a developed, innovative, and brand-conscious industry.

Eco-Friendly products

With expanding health and well-being concerns, people have altered their inclination from synthetic products to green or bio-based products in developed countries. As a result, several products based on bio-based products have been developed, as well as manufacturers of personal care products. As a result, demand for bio-based wax, including carnauba wax, beeswax, and candelilla wax, has increased in the production and replacement of synthetic wax and paraffin wax in cosmetic and personal care products.

Restraint

Declining popularity of paraffin wax

In North America and Europe, the demand for industrial wax is substantial in packaging applications. Nevertheless, the trend is toward decreasing packaging demand. Today, the food packaging industry is more concerned about the health risks in the food packaging of paraffin wax. In the food packaging industry in North America and Europe, the use of natural waxes is thus increasing. Additionally, regulations concerning the use of industrial waxes had been imposed by government officials such as the FDA and the European Union. The increasing demand for natural waxes is also attributable to the growing meat packaging sector.
