Several factors influence the adoption of soy-based candles. As consumers become more aware of the environmental impact of their purchases, there is a growing preference for sustainable and biodegradable products. Soy candles, derived from a renewable resource, fit this criterion well. Traditional paraffin candles can release harmful chemicals like benzene and toluene when burned. On the other hand, soy-based candles are non-toxic and less likely to trigger allergies, making them a healthier choice for many consumers.

Moreover, the broader trend towards natural and organic products has significantly impacted the candle industry. Soy candles are marketed as a natural alternative, aligning with the preferences of a growing segment of health-conscious and environmentally aware consumers.

The soy-based candles market in Mexico and Canada is poised for growth, driven by significant economic trends and developments in these regions. Recent data from Statistics Canada and the International Trade Administration (ITA) highlight key factors expected to influence the demand for soy-based candles positively. In Canada, building construction investments saw a notable increase of 1.7% to $19.8 billion in November 2023. The residential sector experienced a robust expansion of 2.2% to $13.7 billion, while the non-residential sector rose by 0.4% to $6.0 billion. This surge in construction investment, particularly in the residential sector, suggests a growing market for home-related products, including soy-based candles.
