Spring Festival on the Frontline | As Chinese New Year Approaches, “Warm Holiday Economy” Heats Up with Traditional Candles Selling Well at Home and Abroad
With the Spring Festival drawing near, the market for holiday candles is continuously heating up. In many local arts, crafts, and home goods factories in our city, a traditional yet innovative festive product—holiday candles—is experiencing a peak in both candle production and candle sales.
Stepping into Zhongya Candle factory, the candle production workshop is a scene of bustling activity. Various production lines are operating at full speed, with workers skillfully performing processes such as pouring candle wax, cooling melted candle wax, demolding, candle quality inspection, and candle packaging. At the end of the candle lines, boxes of exquisitely packaged candles are ready to be loaded and shipped.
“candle order volumes have increased significantly since November last year, and currently, our production lines are running at full capacity,” explained Sales Manager Mr. Wang. “Candles with Chinese New Year elements are particularly popular, selling briskly on domestic e-commerce platforms and in offline supermarkets. They have become a must-have home items for many families to decorate their homes and create a festive atmosphere. At the same time, our products are also exported to overseas Chinese communities in regions like Southeast Asia, Europe, and America, allowing overseas Chinese to feel the strong nostalgic flavor of their hometowns during the festival.”
It is reported that the strong sales of candles stem from two main factors. On one hand, they align with the traditional Spring Festival customs symbolizing “cozy lights” and use candle praying for blessings and peace. On the other hand, with consumption upgrading, exquisitely designed, safe, eco-friendly candles that combine and decorative functions are becoming a for conveying emotions and enhancing the sense of ritual in life. Building on traditional techniques, the factory has adopted purer plant-based candle wax and candle cotton wicks to ensure safe burning with minimal smoke and no odor. Additionally, it has developed various candle light and candle elegant fragrances, which have been well-received by the market.
Currently, the factory is working hard to stock up, ensuring that this batch of “warm festive flavor” reaches consumers across the country in time before the holiday.
