The scented candles market is a highly fragmented market as various international players are in the fray. The fragmentation is further heightened by local players who enjoy the advantages of lower labour and tariff costs. A large unorganised sector has also been a challenge for the market’s major players.

Johnson & Son, Zhong Nam Industrial (International), Brandt Kaarsen, ScentAir Technologies, Candle-lite and The Bridgewater Candle.
The growing demand for organic and eco-friendly candles, also called green candles, has led to manufacturers increasingly diversifying into products made of materials like bee wax and soy wax instead of paraffin. Bee wax and soy wax candles also do not release toxic gasses while burning. However, the growing popularity of organic candles has also caused further market fragmentation.
This trend has been observed in terms of fragrances that are incorporated in the candles as well and manufacturers have been replacing chemical fragrants with natural, plant-based materials. Certain manufacturers have also been focussing on products that can eliminate smoke; Smoke Odor Exterminator Candles are one such product.
Scented candle manufacturers have also been experimenting with different shapes and designs for their products as consumers have increasingly been attempting to incorporate scented candles in their home décor. Fruit shapes are a popular scented candle product among consumers.
Some of the key brands available in the market include Chesapeake Bay, Yankee Candle, Mrs. Meyer's Clean Day, YIIA, Smoke Odor Exterminator, LA JOLIE MUSE, YINUO LIGHT, YIHAN, Aroma Naturals, FEBREZE, Glade Candle, Nature's Wick and Winbattle Candle.
Most brands have been attempting to increase their online presence in recent years to capitalise on the growing online sales of scented candles. However, traditional distribution channels such as retail stores and supermarkets still dominate the scented candles market.

The scented candle market will be hit by the Covid-19 pandemic and resulting economic crisis in both the residential and commercial segments. Reduced disposable incomes may deter people from purchasing scented candles as they are essentially luxury products.
In the commercial segment, the slowdown in the hospitality industry, which accounted for the largest scented candle sales in the segment, is likely to persist for several years to come. These factors will mean that scented candle manufacturers will compete in terms of product pricing.
North America has been the largest regional segment for the scented candle market, followed by Europe. This due to the high standard of living in these regions. The East Asian and South Asian segments registered the largest growth due to emerging economies like India, China and Southeast Asia. These dynamics may however change in the post-Covid-19 era.
