Marker Pens
Marker pen also known as marker. It is a special color pen for writing or painting. It contains ink and usually has a lid.Marker production area is more obvious.The regional consumer market is less obvious, and the demand for office stationery is relatively high in economically developed areas.In 2018, China's light industry overcame adverse factors such as rising costs and the trade war between China and the United States, and worked hard to improve the quality of its development by taking consumption upgrading as its orientation.In 2018, China's production capacity reached 8.5 billion markers, and the output was 7.1 billion. It is expected that by 2025, the national output will reach 9.8 billion markers, with a CAGR compound growth rate of 5%.Currently, in terms of volume, oil-based marker pens account for the majority of the market, about 56% (2018), and this proportion is expected to drop to 47% by 2025.After the popularity of alcoholic markers for a while, it is estimated that in a few years, the water-based marker market began to explode, because there are still too few water-based markers in China, and water-based markers still have many unique features in environmental protection and color use, which are beyond the reach of alcoholic markers.From the perspective of application, the most widely used marker is design/office, and its production share is as high as 59% (in 2018). It is expected that this field will remain the most widely used marker in the next six years, and its market share is expected to reach 59% by 2025.
