Increasing use of paraffin wax in flexible packaging as a good barrier against odor and gas transmission is likely to drive growth. Expansion of the food & beverage sector in various countries including China, India and Brazil is expected to drive industry growth over the upcoming period.
Asia Pacific will witness swift volume growth at a CAGR of 4.2% from 2015 to 2022, as a result of booming food & beverage sector. Increasing investment by companies for candle manufacturing along with expansion of wax production facilities by Sinopec and PetroChina in China is expected to increase paraffin wax production.
Rising consumption of paraffin wax owing to its electrical insulation, rheology modifier, friction reducer, flame retardant and plasticizer properties will augment growth. However, fluctuating crude oil prices coupled with increasing demand for vegetable and synthetic wax is expected to restrict market growth over the next seven years.
Candles were the largest segment in 2014 accounting for over 40% of global revenue and are likely to gain share in light of their increasing consumption as decorative items. Increasing disposable income along with introduction of a variety of scented and colored candles is likely to be a major driver for the candle industry.
