Market Dynamics

Drivers

Rising craft and decorating activities

As a result, several products based on bio-based products have been developed, as well as manufacturers of personal care products. As a result, demand for bio-based wax, including carnauba wax, beeswax, and candelilla wax, has increased in the production and replacement of synthetic wax and paraffin wax in cosmetic and personal care products.

Restraint

Declining popularity of paraffin wax

In North America and Europe, the demand for industrial wax is substantial in packaging applications. Nevertheless, the trend is toward decreasing packaging demand. Today, the food packaging industry is more concerned about the health risks in the food packaging of paraffin wax. In the food packaging industry in North America and Europe, the use of natural waxes is thus increasing. Additionally, regulations concerning the use of industrial waxes had been imposed by government officials such as the FDA and the European Union. The increasing demand for natural waxes is also attributable to the growing meat packaging sector.
