Sintesi

The global stationery market has been growing, with an increase in estimated value from US$90.6 billion to US$128.3 billion forecast by 2025, at a compound annual growth rate of 5.1%. This growth is particularly fueled by the development of education in the Asia-Pacific region, which dominated the market in 2018 with a 32.0% share.

Trends and dynamics in the Italian stationery market

Stationery stores continue to play a key role in Italy's retail sector, catering to a customer base that extends to students, professionals and individual consumers. With around 21,000 stationers before the pandemic and a market value of almost 420 million euros, these stores remain a cornerstone for those who prefer the immediacy and physical contact of in-store shopping. Although stationers are widely appreciated for their competitive prices and vast product assortments, the Italian market has seen a gradual decline, meaning that the sector is not immune to challenges and competition. The education sector, fuelled by the constant number of school enrolments, is a major driver of demand for stationery. However, there has been a slight decline in the number of students, which could have an impact on demand for stationery. In addition, business customers have long been an established clientele for stationery stores, but the recent trend towards intelligent working models could lead to a decline in corporate stationery purchases. With the digital world encroaching on the traditional market, e-commerce giants such as Amazon pose a significant threat to local stationers.

The structure of the Italian stationery market is highly fragmented, and the arrival of these digital players has pushed local stores to adapt by offering a wider range of products and services, including personalized items and eco-friendly options. The COVID-19 pandemic undoubtedly marked a major break in the industry, resulting in a sharp drop in sales due to the prolonged closure of educational establishments and businesses. This, coupled with a new consumer preference for online shopping, with its perceived advantages in terms of price and variety, dictated a new reality for stationery stores. Variations in demand have become more pronounced, with the market observing seasonal peaks, particularly during the back-to-school and end-of-year holiday periods. Consumers are increasingly turning to sustainable and luxury products, pointing to an evolving market where aesthetics and environmental awareness play an increasingly important role.
