Hence, such factors are driving the market growth during the forecast period.
Decorative Candles Retail Market Challenge
The emission of toxic fumes from decorative candles is one of the key challenges hindering the decorative candles retail market growth. The emission of toxic fumes, particularly from candles made with certain materials including paraffin wax, can emit harmful chemicals when burned, immensely contributing to pollution. In addition, air pollution is regarded as a major threat to human health and life. Furthermore, exposure to harmful fuels and gases results in serious health hazards and sometimes could lead to cancer.
Moreover, manufacturers of candles mainly rely on paraffin wax as a major source of raw material to make candles. In addition, paraffin wax is made from crude oil, alkenes, and toluene and, therefore, is harmful to health when burnt. Furthermore, candles equipped with a lead-core wick release heavy metals like lead and can lead to serious health issues like hormone disruption, behavioral problems, learning disabilities, and others. Hence, such factors are hindering the market growth during the forecast period.
Decorative Candles Retail Market Segmentation by Type
The wide availability of the scented segment will increase the market growth. The increasing trend toward personal care and mental well-being and the availability of scented candles in various fragrances fuel the growth of the scented candle segment.

Furthermore, scented candles are gaining tremendous popularity, especially in urban areas, in response to the growing desire of people for mindfulness and relaxation. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
The increasing adoption of unscented segment will increase the market growth during the forecast period. The growing demand for candles in hotels, restaurants, events, festivals, and other occasions drives the growth of the unscented segment. In addition, the key manufacturers are highly investing in innovative products to offer improvised products such as eco-friendly candles. Moreover, the rise in the adoption of organic unscented candles that are made up of eco-friendly materials such as bee wax and soy wax boosts the growth of the unscented segment. In addition, the innovative packaging using reusable containers and eco-friendly materials used in the packing drive the demand for unscented candles. Hence, such factors are fuelling the growth of this segment which in turn drives the market growth during the forecast period.
