Can Office Supplies Break Through on Low Prices Alone?As low-carbon development and digitalization sweep the globe, which trends in the hundred-billion-yuan office supplies market deserve attention?01Product Side: Green, Low-Carbon and Functional Innovation Advance TogetherIn 2026, carbon-reduction policies were issued in succession, and dual control over carbon emissions was officially implemented. The General Office of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council officially issued the Guidelines for the Construction of Green and Low-Carbon Supply Chains in Central Enterprises (Trial), sending a clear signal: green and low-carbon development is no longer an optional item for enterprises, but a mandatory question. This green access threshold is traveling down the procurement chain. In 2026, office supplies companies continue to explore green materials and product innovation.M&G: In April 2026, M&G launched the Eco+Office low-carbon office series, covering gel pens, markers, solid glue, calculators, scissors and other categories, using recycled plastic as the main raw material. In CICC’s office scenarios, this series helped the company achieve an annual carbon reduction of 354 kg.△Image source: M&G News CenterTuqiang: Two out of every 10 erasers sold worldwide come from Tuqiang Stationery. As one of China’s earliest companies to develop and produce internationally compliant eco-friendly erasers, Tuqiang Stationery has more than 2,500 product series, annual sales exceeding 1 billion pieces, and exports to more than 80 countries and regions. The company uses its core TPR material erasers as a breakthrough point, using recycled materials from the design source to reduce carbon, and has completed carbon footprint accounting and third-party certification. Next, Tuqiang Stationery will continue to build green factories, focus on low-carbon design and low-carbon products, and create more carbon-neutral products.△Image source: Anhui Tuqiang Stationery Co., Ltd.Booth No.: H11-T08Green and low-carbon development has great prospects, but there is still a long way to go. The market has already launched various circular stationery products, including notebooks with refillable pages, modular writing instruments, plant-based inks and compostable packaging, all providing new improvement directions for traditional office supplies.At the same time, functional innovation is driving replacement and premiumization in mature categories. Erasable and low-friction writing systems, more advanced adhesive technology, labor-saving binding and improved document organization systems, and repositionable sticky notes. These improvements do not change how the categories are used, but they directly enhance user experience, thereby supporting replacement purchases and higher pricing.△2026 exhibition site photo: Yiwu Shuangyi Stationery Co., Ltd.Booth No.: H8-42302Technology Side: Smart Manufacturing and Digitalization Boost EfficiencyOffice supplies are characterized by rich categories, diverse specifications and scattered daily demand. Intelligentization can improve product performance and user experience, and also help companies optimize operational processes. Product innovation and supply chain efficiency working together will help companies better respond to the market’s comprehensive requirements for quality, timeliness and stable supply.Deli × Loongson: On September 22, the “Joint Laboratory for Intelligent Office Printing Technology,” jointly established by Deli Group and Loongson Technology, was officially unveiled. The two parties will carry out technical research in areas such as print main control chips, office computer collaboration, dot-matrix/thermal printing, scanning devices and 3D printing, promoting collaborative innovation in office equipment and technology.LPS Lepusheng: In August 2026, LPS Lepusheng’s MES system was officially launched, marking that LPS Lepusheng’s production and operations have officially entered the era of digital management. Every link from raw materials to finished products is now traceable and controllable, supporting quality stability and delivery capability and helping LPS Lepusheng gain more initiative in the market.△Image source: Guangdong Lepusheng Stationery Co., Ltd.Booth No.: H1-31503Global Market: Diverging Demand, Varied OpportunitiesDomestic market: “Workstation Economics”As stationery shifts from consumables to emotional and personalized carriers in office scenarios, price sensitivity declines. According to statistics from “IP Jiaoyanshe,” in the first half of 2026, 11 leading stationery brands completed 54 co-branding collaborations. Stationery brands have put products such as blind-box pens, co-branded notebooks and DIY pencil cases into office and study scenarios, exchanging emotional value for premium pricing.△KWTRIO x TUNEE GOODS series productsBooth No.: H1-A01Image source: KWTRIOInternational market: Embracing pen-and-paper toolsIn 2026, a workplace survey released by US office supplies supplier Quill showed that 94% of surveyed professionals feel more satisfied physically crossing off tasks on a paper to-do list than checking them on a digital list; 56% of Gen Z respondents said that, compared with sending a private message, they are more willing to leave a sticky note for a colleague. Young overseas professionals are rediscovering the ritual of pen and paper, and interest in premium notebooks, colorful desk mats and high-quality writing instruments is rising.△UK DTC brand PapierNew trends represent incremental growth for office-focused brands, but they do not change the fundamental base of office stationery; replacement consumption and centralized procurement channels remain the main sources of scale.When circumstances become difficult, change is necessary; change brings breakthroughs; breakthroughs bring lasting success. Competition in the office supplies industry continues to expand to the levels of quality, efficiency and market adaptability. Only by continuously responding to changing demand can traditional categories regain vitality in the new market environment.Chinese Stationery Goes GlobalToday, diverse Chinese stationery brands are shining in international markets with solid manufacturing strength, continuous product innovation and increasingly distinctive brand features.On the banks of the Pearl River, business opportunities surge.

The 2027 Ningbo Stationery Show will be grandly held on March 25-27, 2027, at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center. As the world's leading B2B professional event for stationery and office supplies, the Ningbo Stationery Show has been deeply rooted in the industry for 23 years. With its profound industrial heritage and strong commercial influence, it attracts numerous distinctive industrial clusters to exhibit together, collectively demonstrating the hard-core strength of Made in China.Hometown of Chinese Pen Making · Fenshui, TongluFenshui Town in Tonglu, Zhejiang, is known as the "Hometown of Chinese Pen Making." The Fenshui River, the largest tributary of the Fuchun River, runs through the town, giving it its name. Viewed from above, a grand avenue spans across the river, with nearly 900 pen-making and supporting enterprises distributed along its route. From raw material supply, mold processing, and component manufacturing to complete pen production, logistics and transportation, and trade and sales, a complete pen-making industrial chain is thriving.In 1974, the town began producing its first batch of bamboo ballpoint pens; in 1976, plastic-barrel ballpoint pens entered mass production. Thereafter, as market demand grew, pen-making processing gradually evolved from household workshops to specialized production, with more and more enterprises joining in and the industrial chain continuously extending. By the end of 2002, Fenshui Town was awarded the title of "Hometown of Chinese Pen Making," and the local pen-making industry entered a new stage of development.Data shows that in 2025, this small town with a permanent population of only 60,000 achieved a total pen-making industry output of over 8.5 billion pens, with ballpoint pen production accounting for approximately 35% of the national market share and annual output value exceeding 8.2 billion yuan. It has formed a pen-making industrial cluster featuring one hundred-million-yuan pen-making enterprise, five hundred-million-yuan cultivation enterprises, and a group of technology-based growth enterprises developing in synergy, covering categories such as ballpoint pens and gel pens with strong supporting capabilities. From January to August 2026, 90 pen-making enterprises in Fenshui Town with self-operated export qualifications completed export value of 425 million yuan, a year-on-year increase of 33.88%, while the national pen export sector was under overall downward pressure during the same period.Tonglu Pen-Making Industrial ClusterExhibiting as a Group at the Ningbo Stationery ShowAt the 2027 Ningbo Stationery Show, nearly 80 brands from Fenshui, Tonglu, will be showcased, presenting a diverse product lineup that demonstrates the manufacturing strength of this distinctive production base.

The "Taoxue Penguins" from Harbin Polar Park, the "Green Horse – Success at Sight" gift box from Gansu Provincial Museum, canvas bags inspired by the toothy Bodhisattva at Huayan Temple in the Ancient City of Datong, and distinctive cultural and creative fridge magnets from across the country. Did any of these viral cultural IPs make it into your suitcase on the return trip from the holiday?During the just-concluded National Day holiday, cultural IPs once again fueled a boom turning emotional value into tangible consumption. This trend, seen in the first year of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, serves as a vivid illustration of "leveraging culture to empower economic and social development."As many observers have noted, cultural IPs are evolving from "single hit products" toward scenario-based and integrated development. This National Day holiday, a trendy toy brand set up a nearly 3,000-square-meter exhibition space, transforming its toy characters into immersive, visitable scenarios. A beverage brand integrated drink consumption with ancient-style check-ins and cultural-and-creative merchandise shopping, driving a marked rise in foot traffic for surrounding merchants. Visitors are no longer satisfied with simply buying souvenirs; they are willing to pay for immersive experiences. Such business model innovations not only demonstrate huge potential for new consumption scenarios but also create new communication carriers for fine traditional Chinese culture. They embody the guideline in the 15th Five-Year Plan Outline to "actively promote the integrated development of multiple business forms" in cultural tourism consumption.A cultural and creative ornament, a themed badge or an IP doll may cost little in raw materials, yet they carry historical heritage, emotional resonance and aesthetic value that ordinary industrial goods cannot match. Take the phoenix crown fridge magnet from the National Museum of China as an example. Launched in 2024, its sales exceeded 3.4 million units by July this year. It has driven over 70 related cultural and creative items under the phoenix crown series to rack up total sales of more than 300 million yuan, setting a sales record for single items and series products in the museum’s nearly 20-year history. How can a fridge magnet priced at dozens of yuan generate a business worth hundreds of millions? Consumers put it simply: "It’s worth the money. I feel much closer to the cultural relic."That is the premium formula of cultural IPs. What consumers buy is not merely merchandise, but "the places I have visited" and "the culture I identify with." It also reflects a shift in domestic consumption from basic function-oriented spending to spending that satisfies spiritual demands. This shift is pushing industrial upgrading and enriching the supply of cultural products.In-depth development of cultural IP value is emerging as a new growth point for integrated development between cultural industries and the real economy. The new Sanxingdui Museum in Guanghan, Sichuan, receives more than 6 million visitors annually, with yearly cultural and creative sales topping 200 million yuan. The spillover effect was especially prominent this National Day holiday. The "Bronze Chirp" dolls sold roughly 800 pieces per day, with cumulative online sales exceeding 300,000 since launch. Guanghan also rolled out over 20 events including the Mask Culture Week, attracting more than 150,000 participants. A total of over 3 million yuan in consumption vouchers were distributed, spurring nearly 100 million yuan in consumption.Evidently, a successful cultural IP generates commercial value on its own and drives coordinated growth across manufacturing, retail, tourism, logistics and other sectors, forming a complete chain from cultural appeal and tourist gathering to consumption stimulation and economic expansion. This is the real-world practice of integrated development under the model of "culture and tourism plus all industries" and "all industries plus culture and tourism."Reports from relevant institutions forecast that China’s cultural and creative market will exceed 10 trillion yuan by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period. From a single cultural IP to a full industrial chain, from a holiday hotspot to a fresh economic growth engine, the 15th Five-Year Plan Outline’s vision of "leveraging culture to empower economic and social development" is steadily turning into reality.Declaration: This article is sourced from CCTV News Client and photos are obtained from online platforms.

In the Era of One-Click AI Image Generation,Are Young People Picking Up Paintbrushes Again?Doodling, painting, journaling, DIY...Art supplies are officially shedding their "niche" label.According to Google Trends data, over the past three years, search interest in "Watercolor for beginners" and "Travel art kit" has grown by 40%. According to Tmall data, in 2025, transaction volume for journals on the platform grew by over 30% year-on-year, with the number of related merchants increasing by over 70%. As of now, the "hand-drawn" topic on Xiaohongshu has reached 20.27 billion views.Journal painting, everyday doodling, travel sketching... Young people's various hand-drawing hobbies are turning creation into a part of daily life. Image source: Internet.In a consumption environment where standardized goods are increasingly abundant, personal expression and hands-on creation offer consumers another choice. For the art supplies industry, this not only expands consumption scenarios but also brings new considerations for channel layout, product development, and customer management.Channels Have Changed: Art Supplies Are No Longer Sold Only to "People Who Can Draw."From the perspective of traditional drawing supplies, the changes in the art supplies market are almost "counterintuitive."For a long time, art supplies were a niche track, with core customers concentrated among artists, art students, and children's art institutions, and sales channels dominated by specialty art supply stores. Today, art supply brands are actively exploring new channels to reach a broader range of ordinary consumers.Guangbo: Guangbo's 2026 semi-annual report shows that the company adheres to multi-channel collaborative expansion to achieve precise category breakthroughs: Fizz art supply series products successfully entered Sam's Club, topping the Sam's stationery category sales list in June-July 2026; licensed products such as Sanrio entered leading bulk snack chain systems including Haoxianglai. At the same time, it deepened cooperation with quality terminals such as trendy toy collectible stores like KKV and Tomato Pocket, and boutique lifestyle stores. Brand stores have opened in Shanghai Joy City, Ningbo No. 2 Department Store, Ningbo Xiushui Street, etc., with regular pop-up events in core commercial districts for new product seeding and fan operations.Image source: Guangbo Cultural CreativeMarie's Art Materials: The century-old brand "Marie's Art Materials," while retaining traditional professional gouache and oil paint product lines, continues to launch 12-color artist-grade oil paint sets, snap-lock storage liquid acrylic marker portable sets, and introduces 3D coating sets suitable for models, figurine customization, and other needs; its independently developed AI assistant Agent "Ma Xiaoli" provides online Q&A friendly to zero-basis beginners; pop-up stores have landed in Crystal Rainbow Bridge, strengthening its "everyday creative good items" positioning and bringing the century-old brand into young people's daily creation.Image source: Marie's Art Materials2027 Ningbo International Stationery Fair Booth No.: H11-T05Kangda Art: As a leading brand in China's art supplies industry, a national high-tech enterprise, and a Zhejiang Province invisible champion, Kangda deeply cultivates professional art supply manufacturing and export while continuously extending to mass consumer scenarios: forming a multi-brand layout around different groups: professional art brand CONDA, academic brand Ousidan, and children's art education brand KIDDY COLOR, covering children, students, art enthusiasts, and professional artists. Product forms extend from single tools to set-based, scenario-based, and lightweight formats; communication methods are simultaneously rejuvenated, with short videos, social media, and artist collaborations giving art tools more space for expression, turning painting from a "professional skill" into a shareable lifestyle.Image source: Kangda Art2027 Ningbo International Stationery Fair Booth No.: H11-T28Winsor & Newton: International leading art materials brand Winsor & Newton also adopts a dual-line layout: on one hand, iterating artist-grade watercolor and acrylic series to deepen the professional creator market; on the other hand, launching the global "Art Mail" watercolor postcard creation activity, encouraging ordinary consumers to participate in creation calls with hand-painted postcards.Image source: Winsor & NewtonBrands are attempting to break through traditional professional supply sales channels, bringing products into more retail and content consumption contexts. What they are targeting are users who originally "wouldn't be likely to buy watercolor tools"—travelers, journal enthusiasts, content creators, or even people simply looking for a quality gift.In this sense, products are not just solving the problem of "whether you paint well or not," but rather a more fundamental business problem: how to make creation simple enough that more people are willing to start. And once "starting" becomes easy, subsequent sharing, social transmission, and repurchase can only then happen. For enterprises, how to adjust product combinations and communication methods according to the consumption characteristics of different channels is an important issue in expanding the mass market.The More Mass-Market, the More Professional: Two Paths Accelerating Simultaneously.Mass interest consumption does not mean weakening the professional art supplies market. On the contrary, professional creation and daily interest consumption are putting forward different demands for art supply products.One end explores professional depth. Professional creators and art academy groups have rising requirements for material performance: high-purity pigments, excellent lightfastness and preservation, special texture media, high-quality paper and brushes are all core competitive points in the professional market.For professional creators, art supply products still need to be optimized around color expression, material compatibility, usage stability, and artwork preservation needs. Focusing on product R&D and quality improvement remains an important foundation for building long-term competitiveness.The other end penetrates into mass life. Brands launch lightweight, low-threshold sets suitable for adult doodling, journaling, art therapy, creative gifts, and other uses. Product design pays more attention to portability and ease of use, lowering the psychological cost for ordinary people to try creation.Category stratification meets demand: professional painting pigments, leisure painting pigments, and children's painting pigments run in parallel, meticulously covering different groups from beginner to advanced; marker pens, acrylic pens, fineliner pens, and sketchbooks combine to tap into journaling and portable sketching scenarios; marker and watercolor pen sets for students and interest groups continue to enrich; acrylic markers and ultra-light clay and other materials further lower the threshold for beginners to get started. Major brands' mass-line products are seizing the light creation trend and opening up entirely new incremental markets.In Conclusion.Each rise of a creation trend broadens product application scenarios and drives market demand and consumption trends to evolve continuously.For brands, closely following the emotional tone of the younger generation makes product direction naturally clear. When products effectively reach users' emotional touchpoints, resonance is no longer just a slogan but the real soil in which brands can take root. And when they possess sufficient quality and resonance, industrial extension has a more solid foundation.March 25-27, 2027, the 2027 Ningbo International Stationery Fair will be held at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center. The fair will gather many domestic and international first-line brands, covering multiple subdivided categories of art supplies. The next issue will reveal in advance the art supplies exhibiting brands of the 2027 Ningbo International Stationery Fair.

Xingda (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jiangsu Xingda Stationery Group Co., Ltd. (Xingda Stationery, Booth H8-947, 2027 Ningbo International Stationery Fair), operates production lines in Lat Krabang Industrial Estate, Bangkok, Thailand. Processes including plastic product forming, colloid synthesis, filling, labelling and packaging are carried out here, and glue sticks are shipped to overseas markets. The core links of research and development, standards formulation and smart manufacturing in Yixing offer continuous support to the overseas base. Connecting Yixing and Thailand, this small glue stick exemplifies Xingda Stationery’s shift from “product export” to “production capacity export”.Founded in 1978, Xingda Stationery has long engaged in stationery adhesives, office supplies, eco-friendly crayons, art paints and DIY children’s products. Its products are sold to many countries and regions around the world, and the company has established cooperation with international enterprises such as Disney, Walmart and Metro.Over the past three years, the cumulative sales of its core products exceeded 1 billion yuan. Relevant business maintained growth in the first half of this year, and overseas markets have become an important support for the company’s sustainable development. As one of the main drafters of industry standards for solid glue, Xingda Stationery has been recognized as a high-tech enterprise and a Jiangsu Provincial Specialized, Refined, Differential and Innovative Enterprise, and won the Yixing Mayor’s Quality Award. Its brand is among the key international brands to be fostered in Jiangsu Province, and its production workshop has been named a Jiangsu Provincial Smart Workshop. These achievements stem from more than 40 years of continuous efforts in this segmented sector.Xingda Stationery regards R&D and quality as its “passport” to overseas markets. For glue sticks to enter shelves in different countries and regions, the company needs to meet varying requirements on raw materials, product safety, environmental performance and production management. The company operates R&D platforms including Jiangsu Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for New Eco-friendly Stationery and Jiangsu Provincial Enterprise Technology Center, and maintains an experienced R&D team to develop green, eco-friendly, educational and creative products for children, students and office users. Meanwhile, the enterprise carries out intelligent and digital transformation. It adopts systems including ERP, BPM and MES, and is equipped with more than 300 automated devices such as automatic filling, injection blow moulding, packaging, labelling and centralized feeding equipment, with a digitalization rate of equipment reaching 90%. From raw materials to finished products, the production process is more visible and scheduling more precise. New demands from overseas markets keep driving product iteration and manufacturing upgrading.With deepening overseas business, Xingda Stationery expanded its focus from trade to manufacturing. In 2024, the company established Xingda (Thailand) Co., Ltd. with a total investment of 39.8 million US dollars. The project officially started production in March 2025 and now has a daily output capacity of 80,000 pieces of 22g solid glue. The enterprise has gradually formed a coordinated layout: “R&D in Yixing + Manufacturing in Thailand + Global Markets”. The headquarters in Yixing remains responsible for product R&D, standards development and operation management, while the Thailand base gets closer to overseas clients and regional markets. The coordination between the two sites enables more flexible responses to international customers’ needs and serves as a new fulcrum to explore emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and the Middle East.From Yixing to Thailand, what has changed is the production radius, while the long-term investment in R&D, quality and market remains unchanged. Glue sticks connect the two factories and bring Yixing manufacturing to global markets. For Xingda Stationery, going global is not simply moving production lines overseas, but allowing the technologies, standards and management capabilities accumulated in Yixing to reach further. In the future, Xingda Stationery will continue to focus on green environmental protection, product innovation and market diversification, and expand global promotion channels. More private enterprises in Yixing are fostering new development momentum in broader global markets with an open vision, solid manufacturing foundation and strengthened innovation capacity, writing new chapters for “Yixing Intelligent Manufacturing” going global.Declaration: This article is sourced from Yixing Daily and photos are obtained from online platforms.
