This method is becoming increasingly popular among farmers and food processors, who are looking for effective ways to preserve the freshness of their products in the long term. Paraffin wax coatings also serve as a natural preservative, minimizing the need for chemical preservatives that can alter the taste or quality of food.

For instance, in April 2024, researchers in India introduced a new technique of applying wax coating to tapioca to enhance its shelf life. This innovation has gained attention in the agricultural sector for its potential to reduce food waste, a persistent issue in India's food supply chain. By preserving the freshness of tapioca for longer durations, the wax coating could benefit farmers and consumers alike by ensuring that the crop stays edible during transit and storage. The solution is eco-friendly and aligns with India's push towards sustainable agricultural practices

The demand and supply of products such as candles, cosmetics, and adhesives declined due to travel restrictions which led to change in lifestyles. The implementation of the lockdown resulted in the closure of several companies, including those with the largest demand for the paraffin wax, such as the cosmetic and fragrance industries. With the lifting of the lockdown, the India paraffin wax market showed a pattern of regrowth. With the removal of restrictions on mobility and mass events, the demand for candles and cosmetics had increased subsequently.

Impact of Russia-Ukraine War on India Paraffin Wax Market

Rising crude oil prices amid the Russia-Ukraine conflict had caused a rise in the paraffin wax prices. High freight costs continue to negatively affect the India market for paraffin wax, as well as the global market. The war tensions between Ukraine and Russia have worsened the trade activities from China, especially to United States and India
