Market Growth Factors
Increasing shift toward sustainability
Numerous trade laws already contain provisions for preserving endangered species and materials, and there are exclusive agreements concerning the traceability of wood. Various new regulations require businesses to identify, address, and remedy any violations or prospective violations of human rights, the environment, and good administration throughout their entire value chain. Also, modern consumers are extremely concerned with environmental preservation, which motivates them to make sustainable decisions. Therefore, eco-friendly packaging cases and production for home fragrances are preferred over the rest of the competition. Thus, such sustainable initiatives in the market will contribute to its expansion.
Increasing prevalence and demand for aromatherapy
Aromatherapy can be beneficial for those who have trouble falling or remaining asleep. This procedure involves inhaling plant extracts through the nostrils, which relaxes the person and assists them in falling asleep. Customers’ increasing desire to live natural, healthy lives and their growing awareness of the health benefits offered by these aromatherapy wax melts have increased their popularity. As a result, they are becoming increasingly popular as a form of natural medication. In addition, due to their therapeutic benefits, aromatherapists require more scented wax melts today. Thus, the widespread use of natural preservatives in producing fragrances has led to a significant increase in their demand.
Market Restraining Factors
Increasing popularity of DIYs for home fragrance
DIY home fragrance creation can cost far less in the long term than purchasing pricey commercial items. DIY home fragrances let the user design one-of-a-kind, individualized aromas that express their tastes and sense of style. Homemade scents can be manufactured with natural components such as essential oils, herbs, and flowers, which are frequently healthier and safer than the synthetic perfumes used in commercial items. In addition, some essential oils and herbs have medicinal qualities that can enhance mood, anxiety, stress, and relaxation. As a result, it is predicted that fewer consumers will adopt a variety of commercially available home fragrance items due to the growing popularity of DIYs, which will hamper the market’s expansion.
Product Outlook
Based on product, the market is segmented into scented candles, sprays, essential oils, incense sticks and others. The sprays segment dominated the market with maximum revenue share in 2022. This is because home fragrance systems like sprays have been a consumer favorite for many years. They are simple to use and can rapidly add a burst of fragrance to a room. In addition, home fragrance sprays are easy to use & carry. They have their implementation in the hospitality sector, and with the sector’s expansion, the segment’s growth is expected to propel during the projected period.
Distribution Channel Outlook
On the basis of distribution channel, the market is divided into supermarkets & hypermarkets, specialty stores, convenience stores, online and others. The online segment procured a promising growth rate in the market in 2022. This distribution channel provides consumers a simple and convenient way to shop for home fragrance products. With the rise of online purchasing and its convenience, it is anticipated that online distribution channels will continue to have a major role in the market. In addition, the company’s e-commerce website features a vast selection of home fragrance products, including candles, room mists, and diffusers.
Regional Outlook
Region-wise, the market is analyzed across North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. The Europe region witnessed the largest revenue share in the market in 2022. The market is growing because European consumers are becoming increasingly health-conscious and seeking products that promote well-being due to rising demand for natural and environmentally sustainable home fragrances.
