Market Dynamics and Trends

The tourism and hotel industry significantly drives the global demand for tiki torches, as hotels, resorts, and restaurants increasingly use them to boost the environment of outdoor dining and recreational areas.

A report recently published by the United Nations World Tourism Organization reveals that the global tourism industry is growing at a fast pace; in this context, as of 2021, Europe accounted for 364.37 million tourists, America accounted for 84.26 million tourists, and the Middle East observed 19.73 million tourists, thus reflecting different stages of tourism development across these regions. As tourism grows, hospitality sectors are increasing their demand for decorative aesthetics and hence driving the tiki torch market growth.

Moreover, the growth in outdoor recreational activities across the globe is driving demand for décor and lighting solutions such as citronella torches. This lighting equipment are suitable for a wide range of outdoor occasions, from casual backyard barbecues to formal beach events.

In addition, tiki torches help keep insects away and provide a nice, natural mood enhancement to outdoor comfort. With more and more people embracing the benefits of spending time in nature and creating memorable experiences outdoors, the market for tiki torches and related lighting products is anticipated to grow. 

However, high risks associated with open flames, especially in households with children or pets and availability of cheap substitutes restraints the growth of the market. On the contrary, integration of smart technologies into tiki torches and introduction of eco-friendly fuel such as bioethanol and vegetable oil-base creates ample opportunity for the tiki torch market in upcoming years. 

Automated tiki torches with a switch, wireless remote, or smartphone eliminate the need for refilling oil or relighting in challenging weather conditions. Moreover, eco-friendly fuels reduce environmental impact by minimizing carbon emissions and promoting healthier outdoor environments.
