India Stationery Market Synopsis

Before the COVID-19 outbreak, the growth of India Stationery Market was primarily driven by an increasing number of students enrolling in schools, as well as the rise in offices and banks across the country, resulting in a higher demand for stationary products. However, the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 had a negative impact on market revenues. The closure of educational institutions meant that only 36% of enrolled children received learning materials or activities from their teachers, leading to reduced demand for stationery products in the education sector. Furthermore, there was a significant decrease in the supply of office space across seven major cities, with a decline of 30% from the previous year, going from 51.62 million sq. Ft to 36.34 million sq. Ft in 2020. This decline in office space availability further contributed to the decrease in demand for office-related stationery from the corporate sector.

According to 6wresearch, the India stationery market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.2% during 2023–2029. India stationery market is expected to further grow in the upcoming years as the country aims to ensure that all students should complete primary and lower secondary level education by 2030, and it hopes to witness an increase in enrolment to the upper secondary level from 55.8% in 2015 to 88% in 2030. Additionally, with the projected growth of the Indian education sector to reach $225 billion by FY25, foreign schools are targeting the rising demand for high-quality education in the country's vast market. For instance, the Nordic chain of schools plans to open 25 schools by March 2024, and Singapore's global school foundation has announced an investment of approximately $550 million in India's school education sector by 2026 and it will help in the significant growth of the India Stationery Industry.

COVID-19 Impact on India Stationery Market

The COVID-19 pandemic had an adverse impact on the India stationery market. With the nationwide restrictions and lockdowns imposed in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus, a number of businesses and educational institutions temporarily shut down physical operations and this led to a sharp decrease in the demand for traditional office as well as school supplies since people transitioned to online learning and remote work. As a result, numerous retailers and wholesalers confronted disruptions in their supply chains and they also experienced a decline in sales. However, there were certain segments in the stationery industry that came across increased demand. With the rise in work-from-home arrangements, there was a key uptick in the purchase of home office supplies like notebooks, markers, pens, and other stationery items. In addition, art and craft supplies witnessed a rise in popularity since people turned to creative activities in order to pass the time during lockdowns.
