Increasing Disposable Income of the Younger Generation Drives the Global Market

According to Straits Research, “The global scented candles market size is projected to reach USD 589.93 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 4.3% during the projected period (2023–2031).” Candles fall under the home decoration category, and home decoration is among the top 10 items millennials purchase during quarantine to make their homes more comfortable. According to a Harvard College consulting group report, the pandemic caused the young generation to move back in with their families, which increased their disposable income. Before the pandemic, only 10% of Generation Z had no formal employment, education, or training. According to a March 2020 analysis by the Becker-Friedman Institute, consumers under 30 and households without children, representing the majority of Generation Z, reduced their expenditure significantly. HCCG survey results indicate that 29% of respondents have maintained or even increased expenditures since the pandemic's start.

Shifting from Traditional Paraffin Wax Candles to Healthier Alternatives Creates Tremendous Opportunities

A heightened awareness of the toxicity of aromatic candles has prompted consumers to switch from traditional paraffin wax candles to vegetable-based alternatives. Eco-friendly and decorative candles are anticipated to create new opportunities for the market for Scented candles. According to attitude and behavior data from Comscore Plan Metrix Multi-Platform, in August 2020, 74.2 million consumers completed home renovations in the previous year, a nearly 20% increase from the same month in 2019. This expenditure on interior decoration will increase the demand for candles and other home décor products.

Regional Analysis

North America is the most significant global scented candles market shareholder and is predicted to exhibit a CAGR of 2.81% over the forecast period. The growing demand for self-care products across the region has bolstered auxiliary scent products like scented candles. According to a blog post by glass packaging manufacturer Glassnow in 2021, retailers have been focusing on keeping a consistent supply of seasonal scents on hand to keep sales steady all year round. The blog post also stated that retailers stock up on pumpkin spice, apple, and cinnamon fragrances in the fall and cinnamon, vanilla, and peppermint fragrances in the winter, particularly during the hectic Christmas season.

Europe is estimated to exhibit a CAGR of 3.4% over the forecast period. In recent years, the European candle market has increased in size. According to the Centre for the Promotion of Imports from Developing Countries (CBI), it comprised approximately two-thirds of the global candle market as of December 2020. Approximately one-fifth of total imports were accounted for by developing nations, and this proportion was rising continuously. Recent coronavirus outbreaks and global responses have substantially impacted international trade and the European market for various goods and services, including home decoration and home textiles (HDHT).
