India Candles Market Trends:

Expansion of Online Retail and E-Commerce

The expansion of online retail and e-commerce is significantly transforming the India candles market providing consumers with a wide range of customizable, artisanal and premium candles. According to the data published by IBEF, India's e-commerce market is projected to reach US$ 325 billion by 2030 fueled by 500 million shoppers. The sector achieved US$ 60 billion in FY23 with a 22% increase. B2B e-commerce could hit US$ 200 billion by 2030. The increasing preference for online shopping, along with the convenience of doorstep delivery, seasonal discounts and direct-to-consumer (D2C) brand expansions, is driving higher candle sales across digital platforms. These factors are contributing to the India candles market share as brands leverage e-commerce to reach a broader consumer base and offer personalized products. Digital platforms offer a seamless shopping experience allowing customers to explore diverse designs, fragrances and wax types including soy, beeswax and coconut wax candles. The rise of D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) brands and independent artisans on platforms like Amazon, Flipkart and Instagram has fueled the growth of handcrafted, decorative and personalized candles. Ecommerce enables manufacturers to offer limited-edition, seasonal and themed candles tailored for festivals, weddings and gifting purposes. Competitive pricing, bulk discounts and doorstep delivery enhance consumer accessibility. AI-driven recommendations, influencer marketing and social media promotions further boost online candle sales. With growing internet penetration and digital payment adoption ecommerce continues to be a key driver of India candles market growth.

Growth of Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Candles

The Indian candles market is witnessing a surge in demand for ecofriendly and sustainable candles driven by rising environmental consciousness and consumer preference for natural and non-toxic alternatives. Soy wax, beeswax and coconut wax candles are gaining popularity due to their clean-burning properties, longer lifespan and biodegradability. Consumers are actively shifting away from paraffin-based candles which emit harmful pollutants toward organic and chemical-free options. Leading brands and independent artisans are innovating with zero-waste packaging, lead-free cotton wicks and cruelty-free production methods. For instance, in November 2024, Aurawick a luxury brand known for handmade candles sold out its entire collection within 48 hours of launch. Crafted from ecofriendly materials and featuring reusable bar-quality glassware these candles merge elegance with sustainability. Demand reflects a growing interest in high-quality unique home decor items, prompting plans for stock replenishment. The trend is further supported by the growing popularity of aromatherapy, wellness products and handmade artisanal candles. With increasing awareness and regulatory support for sustainable products the market for ecofriendly candles in India is expected to expand significantly in the coming years. These factors, including consumer demand for natural alternatives, innovation in sustainable packaging, and the rise of premium handcrafted candles, are creating a positive India candles market outlook driving growth and new opportunities in the sector.
