However, the penetration of correction tapes has risen among elementary schoolers as well.
Furthermore, the market vendors are focusing on introducing customized correction tapes for students belonging to different grades. For instance, the MR2 handheld correction tape dispenser by PLUS Corp (PLUS corporation) is targeted at students who are transitioning from pencil-based notes to ballpoint pen-based notes. Similarly, vendors such as 3M are also developing the use of correction tapes. For example, in Hong Kong, 3M has encouraged secondary school students to create an advertisement using its newly introduced Scotch correction tape. Demand for these tapes, which will grow drives the market in focus during the forecast period.

Owing to the emergence of technologies such as cloud services, the demand for office stationery products such as files and folders has been reduced.
Moreover, digital gadgets are more efficient and faster in editing, and transferring files and data in offices compared to the traditional way of writing and storing data on paper.
