Traditional ornaments such as bells, reindeer, candles, candy canes, garlands, stockings, wreaths, snow globes, and angels are also popular. Snow sheets are specifically designed to replicate snow and create a snowy effect beneath a tree or village.

MARKET DRIVERS

Rapid urbanization, population growth, rising per capita income, and globalization are primarily driving the growth of the Christmas lights and decoration market.

The availability of Christmas ornament gadgets in local retail shops contributes to the convenience of consumers and boosts sales. The collaborations between social media and e-commerce platforms further accelerate the growth of the global market. As people browsing social media platforms are influenced by the latest trends and end up purchasing these products from online retailers, the demand for these products is growing. The low cost of raw materials and labor enables large-scale production and export of these products, which is another notable factor promoting the global market. Furthermore, the technical barriers to manufacturing Christmas lights and decorations are not significant, which further contributes to the market's growth during the forecast period.

The growing emphasis of manufacturers of Christmas lights and decorations is on prioritizing technological advancements, introducing innovative trends, and implementing improvements to enhance product quality and reduce costs. These combined efforts are generating profitable opportunities for the manufacturers of these products. Furthermore, intense competition drives marketers to strategize and differentiate their products, fostering market growth continually.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

The celebration of Christmas has evolved into a public festival that is no longer solely associated with religion. However, this shift can act as a constraint on the growth of the Christmas lights and decorations market. In Asia, which serves as a major production hub, the manufacturing of lighting and decorations has been hindered, with retail stores experiencing closures. Consequently, families have reduced their spending on Christmas, leading to a decreased demand for new decorative items and a reliance on existing ones. Furthermore, the seasonality of the festival poses a challenge to market growth. As Christmas is celebrated only once a year, the demand for Christmas decorations peaks during that time, limiting market growth throughout the rest of the year. The presence of low-quality products with low prices that do not last long is another key factor hindering global market growth.

Impact of COVID-19 on Christmas lights and decoration market

The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the Christmas lights and decoration market. A lockdown was imposed in almost all the countries and business activities have stopped during the COVID-19 pandemic as a result. Soon after the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, some countries gave exemptions to businesses to open and operate and in such situations, the sellers of Christmas lights and decoration products had to reduce the prices of lights and decoration items to attract customers and increase sales. On the other side, the products of Christmas lights and decoration products have seen demand coming from online platforms during the COVID-19 pandemic. People were ordering decorating ornaments and lights online. Due to the lockdown, it was difficult for the distributors to distribute the order. However, to conclude, the lockdown measures have decreased the demand for the Christmas lights and decoration market and created a downfall in the inventory and marketplace revenue.
