Global candles market size is estimated to be valued at USD 13,006.9 million by 2023 exhibiting a CAGR of 4.26% during the forecast period.

The popularity of artisanal candles is increasing as they are available in unique shapes, colors, and aromas. These candles are hand-crafted and use natural ingredients. Artisanal shops avoid the use of toxic wax materials and scents, thereby offering safe candles to health-conscious consumers. People increasingly prefer artisanal candles due to the level of customization offered by manufacturers. Furthermore, the availability of a wide range of plant-based sources such as soy, palm, and herbal oils has led to the creation of unique candles with natural aromas. These factors directly influence demand, thereby creating an opportunity for market players to expand in the artisanal candles segment.
