Driver- Growing number of office spaces in the region
The office stationery market in Europe continues to benefit due to the robust corporate profits from service-based and other industries and continued job growth in office-using employment sectors. The rise in the number of technology parks and business parks across the region has fueled the sales of office stationery. Therefore, the demand for office stationery in Europe is expected to increase during the forecast period. The increasing number of multinational firms in Europe has triggered the entry of foreign players into the Europe - office stationery market. Additionally, the growth in the commercial leasing industry, which includes renting retail buildings, renting office buildings, and renting industrial buildings, has further accelerated the growth of the office stationery market in Europe.
Moreover, office spaces are being occupied at rapid rates in European countries such as the UK, France, the Netherlands, and Italy. Therefore, this growth in the number of office spaces is indicative of the expansion of businesses across the world, including Europe, which will contribute to the growth of the global office stationery market, including the office stationery market in Europe, during the forecast period.
Trends- Growing demand for value-added products
With the changes in the demands and preferences of customers, market competitors are innovating and manufacturing products that can cater to the needs of customers. The advances in technology have opened new avenues for competitors in the Europe - office stationery market as they are providing products with enhanced functionalities, new utilities, and revolutionary designs. For instance, the office stationery market in Europe is witnessing an increase in the demand for printers with customization facilities among end-users.
Therefore, market competitors are increasingly focusing on providing multipurpose and customizable all-in-one printers, scanners, and photocopiers to end-users. The demand for these value-added products is driving the growth of the office stationery market in Europe. Owing to such factors, the office stationery market in Europe is expected to witness continued growth during the forecast period.
Challenge- Strict regulations due to growing environmental concerns
Most office stationery products are made up of non-biodegradable materials such as plastic and fiber, which add to the toxicity levels in the air, soil, and water. In developed economies, there is a growing concern over environmental issues associated with the biodegradability of office stationery items made up of plastic and fiber. Also, the use of pulpwood for paper production has been linked to deforestation. Therefore, social and regulatory initiatives by competitors to maintain ecological balance are on the rise. Moreover, government bodies and other non-government organizations have started implementing standards for the manufacture and sale of plastic products.
Subsequently, marketers are now launching eco-friendly stationery supplies. For example, 3M eco-friendly products include Post-It Super Sticky Notes, Post-It Super Sticky Recycled Pop-up Notes, and Post-It Easel Pads with Recycled Paper. Despite the efforts put in by marketers to provide eco-friendly products, the concerns regarding biodegradation and deforestation continue to be a challenge for the office stationery market in Europe during the forecast period.
