Stationery items: The EU market for Pencils

This CBI market survey for pencils shows that in many EU countries, opportunities for pencils lie in the education sector, and also the ‘back-to-school’ period. Schools and institutions generally have their own specific suppliers. These so-called school suppliers are under growing pressure from other suppliers. And some school suppliers have expanded their business to the trade that supplies private and/or SoHo and/or professional end-users (branch blurring!) in order to grow.

This market survey covers the EU market and the markets in the Benelux, France, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom and Nordic countries (Denmark, Finland and Sweden). It provides information on consumption, production & trade (market sizes and trends), trade channels for market entry, prices, market access requirements and business practices & sales promotion.
