Candle air fresheners do not remove pollution. Instead, they add fresh odors or fragrances that are strong enough to cover foul odors. Air fresheners can be used both indoors and outdoors.

They are made up of a complex blend of chemicals, including synthetic scents, which are among the leading causes of allergic reactions in people. Consumer products such as candle air fresheners are utilized in homes, offices, hotels, and other public places. The primary goal of using a candle air freshener is to add a pleasant scent to the environment and disguise unwanted odors. However, this benefit comes at the cost of exposure to a cocktail of chemicals released into the environment by candle air fresheners.

Rising concern about indoor air quality, combined with the growing relevance of a fresh and clean environment, is driving the global candle air freshener market. Product developments, improving lifestyles, rising population, expanding importance of aromatherapy, growing consumer disposable incomes, and improved living standards are all expected to drive the candle air freshener market forward. However, the presence of poisonous chemicals that are harmful to one's health may limit market expansion.

Companies are focusing on developing and manufacturing air fresheners using natural components such as lemons and flowers due to changing consumer preferences. Improved products to manage room odors are arising from advancements in packaging and dispersing technologies.
