Overview of the global paraffin wax market
Technavio's market study identifies the rising demand from the skincare and therapy segment as one of the primary growth factors for the paraffin wax market. Paraffin treatment refers to the process of using warm oil-based wax to relive pain in hands, feet, joints, and muscles as it soothes chronic joint pain and provides relaxation to stiff muscles and improves blood circulation. It is beneficial for individuals with arthritis, bursitis, and other chronic pain and helps in softening dry, chapped, and rough skin. Additionally, paraffin is also mixed in creams and lotions for a smooth texture and anti-aging. Our market research analysts estimate that this market will generate a revenue of more than USD 6 billion by 2021.
The use of paraffin wax in tarpaulin will be one of the key trends contributing to the growth of the paraffin wax market during the next few years.

Vendors are also mixing paraffin wax with other materials to manufacture tarpaulins with a better finish.
