Global Candle Market 2024

Since the onset of the pandemic, home enrichment has become a focal point for many individuals, leading to a shift towards smaller, more accessible indulgences. One such trend is the increasing use of candles in home décor to enhance the overall ambiance. In line with the wellness trend, scented candles have gained popularity and are expected to drive industry growth. The growth is further fueled by the high consumption of candles by female millennials, who appreciate them as aesthetically appealing household products. To cater to a diverse customer base, beauty retailers, independent brands, and fashion houses are continuously developing innovative candle products.

In terms of revenue, the votive candles market is estimated to be valued at USD 3.77 billion in 2023, with a projected growth to reach USD 5.1 billion by 2029, registering a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.5% during the forecast period. The slow-burning capacity of votive candles makes them highly sought after by consumers. These candles are available in various colors such as pink, red, yellow, blue, purple, black, and white. With a height of approximately 5 cm and a width of around 4 cm, votive candles can burn for an extended period.

The paraffin wax candles market, on the other hand, is estimated to be valued at USD 4.3 billion in 2023, with a projected growth to reach USD 6.1 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 5.6% during the forecast period. Paraffin wax, a by-product of petroleum, is particularly suitable for making floating candles due to its water-resistant properties. Additionally, the colorless and semi-translucent nature of these candles allows for the inclusion of colors, enhancing their decorative appeal.

In 2023, the offline distribution channel accounted for the largest share of the market. The variety of products available under one roof and the appealing store layout motivate consumers to make purchases. Furthermore, during festive seasons, people enjoy shopping for decorative items in brick-and-mortar stores. Offline channels also provide the advantage of physical verification, allowing buyers to test the fragrance of scented products before making a purchase.

North America held the largest market share in 2023, driven by the increasing demand for scented candles from hotels, restaurants, and wellness facilities in the region. However, Asia Pacific is projected to exhibit a higher CAGR over the forecast period. The candles market in Asia Pacific is estimated to be valued at USD 2.72 billion in 2023, with a projected growth to reach USD 4.3 billion by 2029, registering a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period. This growth can be attributed to the rising adoption of luxury lifestyles and the demand for aesthetic candles among middle-class income groups, particularly in emerging economies such as China, India, and Bangladesh. Additionally, the increasing number of dine-out places in these countries, due to a growing working-class population, is expected to drive the regional market.
