Incense sticks, also known as agarbatti and dhoop, are natural materials that emit fragrant smoke when burned. They usually contain extracts of the Commiphora wightii tree, herbs, ghee, and essential oils. They are commonly used in various customs and rituals to purify the air, generate positive energy, and remove negative energy from the environment. They are crucial in eliminating bad odors and cleansing the environment for sacred ceremonies. Agarbatti is an incense stick made from wood sawdust, fragrance oils, and water on a thin bamboo stick. In contrast, dhoop or dhoopbatti is produced from the extracts of Commiphora wightii trees combined with various herbs, ghee, and other fragrant materials. It is commonly found in the form of cones and thick sticks. The calming effect of the incense stick fragrance is also used as an insect repellent. As a result, incense sticks are gaining immense popularity in temples, churches, mosques, and monasteries across the country.

India Incense Sticks (Agarbatti & Dhoop) Market Trends:

In India, the market is primarily driven by the increasing consumer preferences for incense-based products for various religious, spiritual, meditational, and therapeutic purposes. Moreover, the widespread presence of numerous temples across the country that conduct various religious events and rituals represents another major growth-inducing factor. In line with this, the rising use of agarbatti and dhoop by these religious establishments in their daily spiritual and religious practices is positively influencing market growth. Additionally, key players introducing innovative fruity and floral fragrances like cinnamon, lemongrass, strawberry, and green apple have catalyzed the market growth. Besides this, the rising use of incense sticks for meditation, yoga, healing, and spiritual and aesthetic purposes has augmented the product demand. Furthermore, the launch of new fragrances, such as coffee chocolate, green tea, and jasmine, and the development of low-cost and low-smoke product variants are contributing to the market growth. Apart from this, the escalating demand for incense sticks from southern states of India due to the presence of a large number of temples is propelling the market growth.
