The India paraffin wax market import shipments demonstrated robust growth with a CAGR of 17.5% from 2020 to 2024. However, there was a notable decrease in growth momentum with a -33.1% rate between 2023 and 2024, indicating a significant slowdown in the market expansion towards the end of the period.
The India paraffin wax market is expected to witness a robust growth over the next five years on account of increasing applications in various industrial sectors including candle-making, adhesives, food packaging, and textile industries. The rising demand for consumer goods and increased investments in infrastructure projects will further drive the market growth. Moreover, the availability of crude oil derivatives at competitive prices is likely to support the production of paraffin wax.
1. Increasing Applications in Various Industries: With its low melting point and superior properties such as moisture resistance, durability, and flexibility; paraffin wax is used in several end-user industries including candles & polishes manufacturing, food packaging & processing industry, rubbers & plastics industry among others. This has led to an increase in demand for paraffin wax from these sectors which will propel the overall market growth. 2. Growing Demand for Consumer Goods: The growing middle class population coupled with rising disposable incomes have resulted into higher spending capacity resulting into increased consumption of consumer goods across India which will lead to higher demand for items like candles made using paraffin wax thereby driving up its sales significantly over the forecast period.
Environmental Regulations: The government regulations pertaining to hazardous emissions released during production processes might hamper the market???s profitability due to additional costs associated with new technologies being adopted by manufacturers that are compliant with set standards laid out by regulatory bodies such as Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
Some prominent players operating in India paraffin wax include Reliance Industries Limited (RIL), Kutch Chemical Industries Limited (KCIL), Gujarat State Fertilizers And Chemicals Ltd., Atul Limited., Godrej Group ,Emersons Energy Solutions Pvt Ltd., amongst others
