Paper-based products continue to lead the overall school stationery supplies market, which represented more than half of the overall market in 2015. The research report also revealed two rising demands in the market, which are the demand for high-quality innovative stationery with multi-functions, as well as the demand for customised school stationery for unique identification of a consumer’s product.
