This report also includes an in-depth analysis of drivers, trends, and challenges.
The emerging online sales of writing instruments are notably driving market growth. Increasing digitalization and the increasing utilization of e-commerce services are driving growth. Popular e-commerce portals include brand-owned online formats and pure-play e-retailers. Amazon.com (Amazon), MORA STYLOS, and MAKOBA are some major online retailers of writing instruments globally. The availability of personalized shopping assistance and suggestions on writing instruments are the two primary advantages that encourage people to shop for these products online.
In addition, e-commerce providers allow their customers to compare different models of writing instruments available on their websites. This allows customers to choose the best option according to their needs and preferences. Online sales channels reduce the costs of operating brick-and-mortar stores, the employment of sales personnel, and the physical merchandising of writing instruments, and allow vendors to offer significant discounts directly to their customers. Therefore, online sales are expected to drive the growth of the global writing and marking instrument market during the forecast period.
