In 2023, Germany dominated European imports of candles and similar products, contributing over 26%, with the UK, the Netherlands, and Belgium following. Yearly variations reveal Germany and the Netherlands with moderate growth, while Romania and Luxembourg showed notable increases. In contrast, declines were observed in Greece and Denmark. Over a five-year period, these trends suggest an overall stable growth for the sector, with Croatia and Estonia gaining momentum, and minor contraction in Greece.
Future trends to watch may include increased demand linked to eco-friendly innovations and seasonal spikes in regions with emerging markets such as Central and Eastern Europe. Energy costs and sustainable sourcing could impact production and supply chain dynamics.
