Evolving trends in stationery
Fueled by a burgeoning young population, India stands out as a highly competitive market for school and office stationery. Despite the rise of digital learning platforms, the Indian stationery industry has grown into an INR 4000 Crore market*. Furthermore, stationery trends have continued to evolve over time alongside the changing priorities of consumers.
A lot has changed over the last couple of decades – brand consciousness has substantially permeated the psyche of Indian consumers. Today, parents are willing to spend slightly more in order to provide a good quality stationery product to their children. School stationery brands, therefore, are in a constant race to innovate and improve the quality and functionality of their products, in order to make them more appealing to the modern generation of school-goers.
Even in the domain of office supplies, the stationery industry has emerged quite flexible and adaptive. When offices were under lockdown, the industry had shifted its focus to work-from-home oriented products to maintain business continuity and tend to new consumer demands.
The alarming concern for the environment has also brought attention to eco-conscious or sustainable stationery. Not only papers but even pens, compass boxes and other writing instruments are being recycled today. This not only contributes to ecological preservation but also allows manufacturers to significantly reduce their expenditure by repurposing discarded products, instead of acquiring new raw materials.
While Indian stationery had been a disorganised sector in the past, increasing influx of both domestic and foreign brands, an uptrend in buying patterns and excessive cash inflow in the market are gradually transforming it into a highly lucrative business ground.

Along with conventional school and office stationery, Paperworld India 2022 will display a series of sustainable, innovative and unique products during its three-day exhibition:
Green stationery taken to the next level
