A candle is made of wax or other fuel, with a wick in it, and can continue to burn after being ignited. When the wick is lit, the flame melts the wax near the wick, which then vaporizes and combusts to produce light and, often, a pleasant scent. It can also be used to provide heat, or as a method of keeping time. Candles are also used in festivals or other special days and places of worship etc.

Candle usage frequency needs to increase to reinvigorate sales, private label products present a growing threat to branded products. However, the high-end candle segment is the area that continues to see strong growth. As the low- and mid-cost candles continue to erode under the pressure of strong competition, the high-end segment continues to tap into the home decorating angle for increased sales. Utilizing fewer mainstream methods for distribution (such as mass merchandisers and retailers), these manufacturers have been able to position their products as luxury and true home decor items.
