Matches are a fire lighting tool. These are made from wooden material or stiff paper. On one end of the match stick, ignition material, which when struck against a suitable surface (normally present on a matchbox) ignites the fire. Matchsticks have a long history, which dates back to 1883 in Sweden. Match sticks were a sensation when they first entered the market, but the glorious time for match stick is slowly fading away. Matchsticks are packed in a matchbox and then sent to the market for distribution. Matches are used in households, commercial, and religious places. They can be used for lighting stove or to light a campfire, candles, incense sticks, camphor, and cigarettes.

Matchstick is not only used for the primary purpose that is lighting a fire but has also found alternative uses. For instance, it is widely used for various art and craft purposes or for making games such as puzzles. The matches market is expected to grow negatively during the forecast period owing to introduction of new alternatives.

COVID-19 Scenario Analysis:

COVID-19 has put a deep impact on the sales of matchsticks.
China has been the major producer of phosphate, which is used in manufacturing the matches, but due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, the supply chain has been disrupted and many countries have stopped importing from China.
Due to the lockdown situation prevailing in most countries of the world several religious places are also closed. These were the places where the demand for matchsticks was very high. But their closure means no sales.
Factories have started to lay off the workers, who worked in the manufacturing of matches.
Many countries do not count cigarettes as an essential item to be sold during the lockdown. This gives a hit to the matches market, as matches were a complementary good that people bought while purchasing cigarettes.
