The Paper Stationery Manufacturing industry has declined as rising competition from imports and falling demand have devastated revenue. Schools and businesses closing from March 2020 owing to the COVID-19 pandemic have caused a slump in demand for paper stationery products. In 2019-20 alone, revenue fell by approximately one-third. However, household spending on paper stationery has partially offset this trend, as consumers have set up home offices and classrooms. Digital communication has become increasingly popular, with emails and business communication platforms like Microsoft Teams replacing letter-based mail. Alternative materials, including plastics and fibres, have similarly supplanted paper products in many applications. Revenue is expected to drop at an annualised 7.5% over the five years through 2023-24, to $424.3 million. This trend includes an anticipated drop of 2.8% in the current year because of declining household discretionary incomes.
Industry revenue has declined at a CAGR of 7.5 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $424.3m in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
