Market Overview:
The global plastic lighters market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period 2018-2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for disposable lighters from various end-use applications such as supermarkets and hypermarkets, convenience stores, specialist retailers, online retailers and directly sales. In addition, the growing awareness about environment protection has led to an increase in the demand for eco-friendly plastic lighters over traditional metal lighters. However, volatility in prices of raw materials used in manufacturing of plastic lighters may restrain the growth of this market during the forecast period. On basis of type, flint type segment is expected to account for majority share in global plastic lighter market during 2018-2030 owing to its low cost as compared to electronic type segment.
Product Definition:
Plastic lighters are typically made of a hard, translucent plastic and use butane as the fuel source. They are often used for lighting cigarettes, cigars, or pipes.
Flint Type:
Flint type is a ceramic lighter, which was first manufactured by the Commonwealth Edison Company in 1931. It was later acquired by General Motors and became an integral part of itsGM 1 design. Flint lighters are available in two variants, namely GM 1 and GM 2. The former has a larger fuel capacity of 4 fluid ounces compared to the latter with 3 fluid ounces; both variants have an attached striking plate that serves as a wick holder when lighting process is complete.
Electronic Type:
The electronic type is a battery-powered device that works on the principle of electromagnetic attraction and repulsion. It consists of two metal plates, one positive and the other negative, which are connected by an insulated wire. When electricity flows through this wire, it creates an electric field around the plates; if a piece of flint is held in between the plates while electricity flows through this Flintstone style lighter then it will light up.
Application Insights:
The supermarkets and hypermarkets application segment led the global plastic lighter market in 2017. The segment is expected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to increasing consumer spending on food, clothing, and other daily needs from supermarkets and hypermarkets. Increasing disposable income coupled with rising living standards has created a positive impact on consumption of these products in this application segment.
Specialist retailers are anticipated to emerge as one of the fastest-growing segments during the forecast period owing to increasing demand for specialty stores across various regions including North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America etc. Rising preference for luxury goods among high-income groups is likely to fuel demand for such products at specialty retailers which in turn will drive demand for plastic lighters over the coming years.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The region accounted for a share of more than 30% in terms of revenue in 2017 owing to high product demand from countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Philippines and Thailand. Moreover, increasing disposable income levels coupled with rising tourism activities are likely to boost product sales across these countries.
North America is projected to witness significant growth over the forecast period owing to an increase in consumer awareness regarding eco-friendly products along with growing adoption by celebrities for using them during promotional events and live concerts. Europe also held a considerable share of global plastic lighter industry due its large number of production facilities along with stringent regulations on fuel lighters set by governing bodies such as REACH (Registration, Evaluation And Authorization Of Chemicals) which has resulted into higher manufacturing costs associated with it compared to Asia Pacific counterparts.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand from end-use industries such as automotive, aerospace, and marine
- Rising disposable income of consumers in developing countries
- Technological advancements that have led to the development of new and innovative products
- Growing popularity of eco-friendly products among consumers
- Stringent government regulations on the use of traditional fuels such as gasoline and diesel
