Multiple factors have led to the decline of the Christmas blow mold industry.
Fewer people now decorate for Christmas. It used to be almost every house was decorated in some way, now less then 50% decorate. With rental properties, many landlords will not allow people to decorate outside for fear of being sued in case of an accident. In addition, blow molds are very large & hard to store.
Inflatables became popular, these fit in a 12" square box & can be 12' in height. Cost increased in production, as every raw material has increased. Electricity costs have increased. This has led to a decline in Mfg & a decline in display as people seek ways to reduce their electric bill. Shipping costs escalated in recent years, leading to a further drop in sales. In many cases these days the shipping is more than the cost of the mold.
Stores no longer carried blow molds, they take up a lot of room. In addition many stores carried the same dozen items year after year, despite the fact that there were hundreds to choose from. If you already had the Santa, Snowman & candles that were carried every year, why buy more?
Now many Christmas enthusiasts are starting their own stores & buying in bulk from the Mfg & reselling. There is a high demand for older molds, & still a lot of demand for the new molds being produced.
