PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Personalised and premium offerings are expected to drive growth over the forecast period
Despite the tough economic climate, demand for unique and personalised items is expected to increase over the forecast period. For many consumers, smaller purchases, such as writing instruments, serve as a form of attainable indulgence, offering a sense of reward without the financial commitment of big-ticket items.
Asian imports from Shein and Temu are set to attract younger consumers
Over the forecast period, platforms like Shein and Temu are expected to remain strong competitors in the South African stationery market. These retailers offer highly competitive pricing and a broader and more diverse product range.
Online stationery stores are set to gain ground by offering unique products
In addition to large online platforms like Shein and Temu, smaller niche retailers such as The Papery and Love Letter Stationery are establishing their own presence by providing personalised and design-focused writing instruments. As more competitors enter the market, the competition will become fiercer over the forecast period, with brands striving to differentiate themselves through unique product offerings.
