Improving Literacy Rates Drives the Global Writing and Marking Instruments Market, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 10, 2014 -- Follow us on LinkedIn – Despite the influx of computerized and electronic communication devices, writing instruments such as pens have immense utility and use on a daily basis. Fast paced product innovations, introduction of products with novel concepts and value added capabilities have continued to keep consumers enticed to traditional writing instruments even in the age of digitalization. Business and education sector accounts for most of the consumer purchases. Of late however, there has been an increase in purchases for household use and as personal collectibles. Ever-increasing population, growing emphasis on education and subsequent rise in student admissions across the world foster the demand for a range of writing instruments. Also sustaining growth is the expanding enterprise segment and growing number of working population. The widespread acceptance of pens as an ideal promotional vehicle and corporate gift among businesses and commercial establishments is additionally lending traction to growth.
Innovation remains the key to growth in the writing and marking instruments market. Despite growing popularity of electronic gadgets, there still exists a market for innovative pens which are quirky and serve more than the purpose of writing. Introduction of new generation multifunctional writing instruments with enhanced features, such as pens with smartphone & tablet-optimized stylus, will spur growth in the market. The market continues to benefit from the launch of new pens with an array of improved features such as hybrid inks, better ergonomic design and more comfort. Also, premium fountain pens and vintage-style writing instruments are growing in popularity.
Environmentalism looms large in the writing and marking instruments market with ‘green’ products and private labels gaining wide acceptance among consumers. Against this backdrop, disposable pens with toxic ink ingredients are losing favor as manufacturers and consumers shift towards high quality, eco-friendly instruments such as biodegradable pens and eco-savvy inks made from renewable sources.
