Office Stationery Wholesaling in the US - Industry Market Research Report

Take Note: Rising Consumer Spending and Corporate Profit Will Boost Industry Revenue Growth

The Office Stationery Wholesaling industry has contended with declining demand, leading to a fall in revenue. Demand for office stationery has fallen alongside a rise in digitization over the period, in which businesses, retailers and individuals are swapping out pen and paper for their digital counterparts. Schools and colleges, which normally provide a steady stream of demand for the industry, are increasingly using electronic products in classrooms. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 exacerbated the downward trend in demand as temporary school and office closures further reduced the need for office stationery as remote work drove consumers toward electronic mediums. Revenue is expected to decline at a CAGR of 1.7% to $48.7 billion over the five years to 2023, including a 1.6% increase in 2023 alone.
