The global office supplies market size is anticipated to reach USD 79.28 billion by 2033, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 1.3% from 2025 to 2033. Product consumption is growing owing to an increasing number of corporate offices as well as an increase in the number of hotels around the globe catering to the rapidly growing demands of the tourism industry. The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative impact on the market growth. The pandemic has increased the pace of digitalization of office spaces, adversely affecting the demand for traditional office supplies. However, the pandemic gave a boost to the trend of remote working, which caused drastic changes in the patterns of product consumption. An increasing phenomenon in the market is the adoption of sustainable and eco-friendly products by companies to reduce their carbon footprint.
In May 2021, BIC announced a partnership with TerraCycle, Inc. to launch a brand-new recycling program for their writing supplies equipment. This move was in line with the company’s push for eco-friendly products. Asia Pacific is anticipated to be the fastest-growing regional market with a CAGR of around 2.6% from 2023 to 2030. This is owing to high product consumption by the education sector in countries, such as China, India, and Bangladesh. Key companies in the global market undertake various business strategies, such as new product launches, M&As, and partnerships, to gain higher market shares. In November 2022, 3M's brand 'Scotch' launched a new product line, 'Packt', featuring envelopes, mailers, and boxes of different sizes and colors. The new product line also includes packaging tape and packing paper that come in creative designs to secure and seal the contents of packages.
