I would say probably realistically because you will always get trumped by big companies that are able to produce candles for less expensive than you are able to. Unless if it’s a design completely out of the box that other companies do not do, people won’t invest. I am just speaking in terms of the fact that I am a cheap skate when it comes to candles and I head right to Walmart where candles are as cheap as $3 for a three wick candle

Probably not realistically *

I've seen stalls at markets but very few people actually buying them. They seem to be one of those gifts you buy when you left it too late.
Candle molds also make good molds for soaps or chocolates which tend to sell better

It’s good in that it’s low overhead and high profit potential. It’s bad in that it’s a huge market with LOTS of competition, much of which has been around a long time with solid name recognition.

It's not very recession proof after the invention of the electric light-bulb. When times are good people might buy them, but when times aren't good you will probably go out of business.

No, I think the days of candles are coming to an end.
Sency and othe products like that have really taken over.
Plus they are safer than an open flame.

I had a EPA Physics friend who tried thst on side as hobby and it turned out to be undesirable for her🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

Maybe as a side hustle, but could be very difficult to scale to main income. Ut's a crowded market with big players and lots of amature crafters

No. Too competitive.
