Top 25 Candle Stores in Shopify
We looked into the luxury candle industry and we could not find any mention of this market is saturated. It's growing at a steady pace and new trends keep emerging like bath bombs, scent diffusers, etc.
The pandemic isn't over yet, but there are still chances for new businesses to get into a well-known industry like candles. As the memory of the pandemic fades, the intensity of consumer demand is expected to rise again, especially among people who make more money and those who are more affluent. This means that companies that focus on product innovation will have a lot of chances to win customers in the next normal.
Luxury candles have become more popular in recent years because more people are interested in eco-friendly home decor and self-care products, which makes them more popular.
If you want to sell handcrafted candles manufactured from all-natural and sustainable goods, or if you already have a brick-and-mortar candle shop and want to grow, Shopify is the right answer for you!
