2. MARKET RESEARCH

We have conducted the market research which has given us the result that there is

great demand for candles in rural as well as in urban markets due to frequent power

cut in urban areas. Yet the candle has survived due to specific uses it is put to viz;

in churches as a religious relic, an essential item at birthday ceremonies, to melt

the sealing wax used to seal locks of factory go down etc. Now days candle is used

for decoration in hotels and restaurant it is used in house as showpiece.

Apart from the above said uses the candles are the most required one during the

power failure or the power shut down for maintenance. During this kind of

situation candles are required in more numbers. In Tamil Nadu during the past 5 to

10 years there is a shortage of electricity for which wealthier people go for using

inverter by which it cannot be accompanied by most people of the state. For those

people candle is the only source of light during power failure.

In Tamil Nadu demand for candle has increased consistently and frequently

required in more quantities which is not available now. So creating small scale

industry on the front of candle manufacturing would be more profitable during.

Hence we opted to develop a small scale unit of manufacturing candles.

3. MANUFACTURING PROCESS& TYPES OF CANDLE

For hundreds of years the basic "art" of hand pouring candles remained relatively

unchanged. In simple terms making a candle involved melting wax, coloring,

scenting and pouring into molds. Along the way, gradual changes were made in

the process and in the industry such as pouring into glass containers,

development of new types of molds and even pouring wax into sand to make

candles.

In our estimation, more changes have occurred in the hand pouring of candles in

past number of years than the previous 100 years. Companies and individuals can

now "accessorize" their operation to make the process of hand pouring much

easier.

Several of the early developments, which may not have been considered

revolutionary at the time, have made life easier for the candle maker. Two

examples include the pre-wick assembly and "blended waxes."

The pre-wick assembly has made life much easier for companies of all sizes when

making votives and container candles. Having the wick waxed, cut and a tab

placed on it accuser
