Scented Candles Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing Disposable Income Of The Younger Generation

The YPLUSE 2020 report indicates that the concept of home has evolved for young consumers, particularly during the latter stages of quarantines. Millennials have consistently demonstrated a preference for staying at home, enjoying quiet weekends, and binge-watching television shows. According to YPLUSE's "No place like home" trend research, 82% of millennials concur that their home has been a source of comfort during quarantine, prompting 65% of them to invest in home décor. Items such as candles fall under home decoration, and home decor is among the top 10 items purchased by millennials during quarantine to enhance the comfort of their homes. A report by the Harvard College consulting group reveals that the pandemic led the younger generation to move back with their families, thereby increasing their disposable income. This generation of consumers saved on essentials and rent, thus having more disposable income to spend on non-essentials and luxury items. Before the pandemic, only 10% of Generation Z were not engaged in any formal employment, education, or training.

Driver: Therapeutic Benefits Of Scented Candles

Numerous studies have suggested that the smells of the urban environment can trigger basic emotional responses in individuals of all ages. For example, a 2017 study by Haehner found that exposure to a variety of common urban odors (synthetic mixtures that mimic the smells of disinfectant, candles/beeswax, summer air, burnt smell, vomit, and a musty smell) led to significant changes in autonomic activity (such as the electrodermal response). Essential oils used in scented candles can help soothe the mind and senses. These scented candles are often used in therapeutic practices because they create a pleasant atmosphere that facilitates a peaceful and meditative mindset. Moreover, as each scent has its own therapeutic benefits, there is an increasing demand for personalized scented candles for use in therapies and for achieving relaxation in specific health conditions. For example, the Muse Gilded Candle by Jonathan Adler, a combination of soy and paraffin wax, contributes to creating a pleasantly fragrant indoor environment. After the candle has been used up, the gold-gilded porcelain bowl can serve as a vase. Some of the popular fragrances include pink grapefruit, raspberry, French cassis, violet leaves, rose petals, and grape leaves.

Restraint: Candles Emit Volatile Organic Compounds

Burning a candle that contains various chemical compounds essentially contaminates the indoor air and results in the inhalation of harmful byproducts. It's not just the fragrances that consumers need to be wary of, as numerous studies indicate that the wax and wick also contribute to air pollution. Scented candles use synthetic perfumes and dyes, which release detrimental volatile organic compounds (VOCs) even at ambient temperature. The VOCs most commonly associated with the smell of candles include formaldehyde, petroleum distillates, limonene, alcohol, and esters. These hazardous compounds can lead to a range of health problems, such as headaches, dizziness, allergy symptoms, asthma attacks, respiratory infections, and potentially even cancer. Paraffin wax, a byproduct of crude oil refining, is harmful to indoor air quality and human health, despite being the eco-friendliest wax when inhaled. Burning paraffin wax not only releases toxic chemicals but also produces soot particles that can remain airborne for hours. A study by the University of South Florida found that these minuscule soot particles are similar in size and composition to diesel exhaust.
