Pencil Market: By Product Type, By End User, and Region Forecast 2019-2030 

Pencil Market Size, Share, Growth, Trends, and Global Industry Analysis: By Product Type ( Graphite Pencils, 2H-2B, 96-3H, 3B-6B, 9H-7H, 7B-9B, Recycled Paper Pencils), By End User (Students, Professionals, Institutions, and Others), and Region Forecast 2019-2030 

Pencil Market size was valued at US$ 13,893.9 million in 2023 and is expanded to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.7% from 2024-2030. The pencil has a wide range of applications, such as writing, drawing, sketching, colouring, etc. Pencil markings are erasable, unlike pens, sketch pens, and markers that are not erasable. People's positive perspectives toward education are reflected in the rise in literacy rates. According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS), 258 million children and youth completed their education in 2018. This number includes 59 million elementary school students, 62 million lower secondary students, and 138 million upper secondary students. The global literacy rate for 15 and up has climbed to 86.47 percent in 2019.

This demonstrates the value of education and provides an opportunity for the writing tool sector, increasing the demand for pencils. To meet the desires and needs of customers, pencil makers are investing heavily in R&D. They conduct functional tests on writing instruments before and after development and production to ensure attractiveness, a comfortable grip, a long-lasting impact, and a better writing experience. Most other stationery items, such as pens and markers, are made of non-biodegradable plastic; however, pencils are made of wood, which is fully biodegradable and does not pollute the environment. The graphite-colored market's supply chain has been disrupted due to the COVID-19 epidemic, which will slow market growth in the short term.

Pencil Market Dynamics

The increased availability of items in the market is due to increased imports of raw materials at lower prices and the simple method of pencil manufacture. Over the predicted period, demand for pencils is expected to rise. The introduction of new and creative multipurpose writing instruments has been critical in broadening the worldwide market's breadth. The worldwide market will be hampered by the requirement to invest in a high-quality sketching pencil set and difficulty holding objects.
