SOY CANDLES MARKET OVERVIEW

The global soy candles market was valued at approximately USD 0.79 billion in 2024 and is expected to grow to USD 0.81 billion in 2025, reaching USD 1 billion by 2033, with a projected CAGR of 2.6% from 2025 to 2033.

Soy wax, a refined version of soybean oil, is used to make soy candles. Because soy wax often has a lower melting point than conventional waxes, they are normally container candles, but they can also be turned into pillar candles by adding particular ingredients to the soy wax. Soy wax is generated via the complete hydrogenation of soybean oil. Chemically, this produces a triglyceride with a high stearic acid content. In most combinations, it is often softer than paraffin wax and has a lower melting point. Its melting point, meanwhile, can be increased by additions to levels typical of paraffin-based candles.
