UAE Stationery Market Synopsis
UAE Stationery Market had experienced decline in revenue during 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The temporary closure of educational institutions led to a swift transition to remote learning, causing an increased demand for technological tools like laptops and iPads and a subsequent decrease in demand for stationery products. Nevertheless, as schools reopened, the market recuperated. This recovery was aided by an upsurge in government investment in education sector and an influx of international students, which rose to 51,652 in 2022 from 48,800 in 2019.
According to the report, UAE Stationery Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.9% during 2023-2029F. UAE stationery market has entered the later stages of growth, primarily due to the country's increasing shift towards digitalization and a paperless economy. However, the market still presents growth opportunities, particularly in response to the rising demand for eco-friendly, biodegradable, and recyclable stationery. Additionally, the market for office spaces is anticipated to grow in the future, given the numerous multi-million-dollar office projects in the pipeline, including the Dubai Urban Tech District, which is expected to generate 4,000 jobs in green urban technology, education, and training. The Mohammed bin Rashid Library, with over 54,000 square meters, seven floors, and nine thematic libraries, is another significant project that will contribute to the growth of office spaces in the country. Furthermore, programs such as the "National Program for Gifted and Creative Students" and the launch of the "Arts in Schools" program in 2021 by Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC) aim to promote art education in public schools across Abu Dhabi and develop students' drawing, painting, sculpture, and other art-related skills. These programs have resulted in an increased demand for various stationery products, such as pens, pencils, notebooks, and other writing and drawing instruments, thereby further boost the UAE stationery Market Share.
