Our researchers studied the data for years, with 2023 as the base year and 2024 as the estimated year, and presented the key drivers, trends, and challenges for the market.
Shopping convenience and the low cost of selling for retailers will be key drivers for the growing online sales of office stationery and supplies during the forecast period. Consumers increasingly prefer online platforms for shopping as they can shop conveniently from the comfort of their homes and offices and even while commuting. In addition to shopping convenience, online shopping enables easy payments. The increasing penetration of the internet and online payment channels has led consumers to buy products online. Hence, the sales of stationery products through online channels are growing faster than that of offline stores. All the major vendors in the market sell their office supplies through online channels.
For instance, Walmart Inc. sells office stationery products such as pens, papers, notepads, sticky notes, files and folders, clips and binders, printer inks, tapes and adhesives, and staplers through its website. Thus, growing online sales of office stationery and supplies boost the growth of the global office stationery and supplies B2B market during the forecast period.
One of the latest trends in the global office stationery and supplies B2B market is the e-auctioning of office stationery and supplies. E-auctioning takes place through online bidding of products and bundled products sold as packages. This bidding is a B2B exchange of goods and services to reduce the overall cost while products are sold or bought in bulk. E-auctioning reduces costs throughout the supply chain as the goods and services are sold at their true market price and do not include any additional costs. An e-marketplace enables e-auctioning services. E-auctions compress lead times on trade by streamlining auctioning processes for buyers and sellers.
Moreover, companies sell their office stationary on the e-auctioning site provided by Direct Liquidation LLP (directliquidation.com). GeM (gem.gov.in), an e-auctioning site in India for selling stationery products, and Gardner Auctions Inc. (gardnerauctions.com) are among the other e-auctioning sites for stationery products. E-auctioning helps the sellers of office stationery and supplies to sell their products in bulk at competitive prices as buyers would pay more for the highest bid products. This is a positive trend influencing the market.
Paper-based office stationery and supplies B2B products are increasingly facing challenges related to the procurement of raw materials such as paper pulp. Rising concerns over deforestation, pollution, and environmental degradation have affected the production costs of office stationery and supplies B2B items such as notebooks. Moreover, non-biodegradable materials such as plastic and fiber used to produce a range of office stationery supplies are highly toxic to soil and water.
However, the rise in environmental concerns and the growing adoption of digital tools by consumers to reduce the dependence on paper and plastic-based stationery products will challenge the growth of the global office stationery and supplies B2B market during the forecast period.
The market share growth by the offline segment will be significant during the forecast period. New retail formats such as convenience stores, supermarkets, and hypermarkets offer shopping convenience. Thus, the preference for buying stationery products through retail stores has increased.
