Key market insights

Increased adoption of home decor will spur market revenue growth.

The global candle market accounted for US$ 8,426.31 million in 2018 and is anticipated to grow to US$ 13,031.03 million, growing at a CAGR of 5.5% throughout the forecast period from 2019 to 2027.

Consumers are increasingly purchasing candles for their home decor and for aromatherapy-like stress reduction and relaxation. The ease of purchase, as well as the availability of various types of candles on multiple distribution channels, are prompting more and more people to purchase these products. The expansion of distribution channels has boosted sales at department stores, mass merchandise retailers, and home decor stores. Supermarkets and hypermarkets are benefiting from their discounted prices and various offers, which are particularly attracting more and more buyers. The popularity of e-commerce has significantly increased candle sales. The ease of purchase, as well as the availability of extensive information and reviews on products online, are prompting more and more individuals to buy these products.

Volatility in the prices of raw materials is the major factor hampering the market growth. Paraffin is still the most widely used base material for candle production. Meanwhile, in 2014 and 2015, almost 33% of paraffin production in some countries was shut down, forcing candle manufacturers to import large volumes of base material at higher prices. The increasing usage of candles in various applications provides immense opportunities to the manufacturers present in this market.

Type Analysis

Votive Candle Segment to Dominate the Market During the Forecast Period

On the basis of type, the global candle market is segmented into pillar candles, floating candles, votive candles, taper candles, filled candles, tealight candles, gel candles, specialty candles, liquid candles, and others. In 2016, votive candles accounted for the largest share of the global candle market. It accounted for 22.2% of the revenue share in the global candle market, followed by pillar candles and taper candles with 17.2% and 11.9% market shares, respectively. Votive candles are also known as prayer candles and are the most common candle type used across all settings. These candles are often viewed as eco-friendly as they do not emit harmful gases like conventional synthetic products. The demand for scented candles in all forms is higher than that for unscented types. Additionally, over 70% of candle purchases are made by women. Being a focal point of home décor, the demand for specialty candles, gel candles, and similar products is gaining momentum.

Candle gifting is becoming a vogue trend, leading to a rise in demand for specialty candles. Product innovation, safety, and ease of use have led to the emergence of liquid candles as a major product type in the global candle market. Of all the considered types, votive candles held the largest market share in 2018. The tealight candles segment is anticipated to record the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2019 to 2027.distribution channel analysis

The mass merchandise retailer segment will dominate the market during the forecast period.

On the basis of distribution channels, the global candle market is segmented into specialty or gift shops, department or home decor stores, mass merchandise retailers (discount stores, drugstore chains, etc.), direct sales, the internet, and others (small-scale retailers). In 2018, mass merchandise retailers accounted for the largest share of the global candle market.

Some companies, such as Yankee Candles and VILA HERMANOS CARRERA SA, etc., have established their own concept stores for the direct sale of their products. This channel accounted for 11.93% of the global market share in 2018.

Regional Analysis

Increased foreign investment to support growth in the Asia-Pacific region.

In 2018, North America was observed as the largest market, followed by Europe; both of these regions are projected to maintain their market position over the coming six years. Candle sales are fueled by a rise in consumer interest in aromatherapy and increased demand for home fragrance products. In 2018, North America and Europe together accounted for more than 60.00% of the global candle market. In both of these regions, candles are considered decorative accessories rather than purely functional items. The U.S. is the largest regional market for candles. Every year, approximately one billion pounds of wax are used in the production of candles in the United States. The sale of candles is fueled by growing consumer interest in aromatherapy and a rise in demand for home fragrance products. The candle market in Europe is an interesting market in which imports and consumption are increasing continuously, providing immense opportunities to exporters from developing countries.

Asia Pacific will witness swift revenue growth over the forecast period of 2019 to 2027 as a result of changing lifestyles, the availability of the product, and a rise in the consumption of decorative items. India, China, Australia, and Japan are the most attractive markets for candles and provide immense market potential. The availability of a variety of scented and colored candles, along with a rise in disposable income, is the major factor driving market growth in these countries.
