Working hard: Improved business profit and higher incomes will revive demand for office supplies

Office Supply Stores in the US

Back in business

Office supply stores are set for a rebound, albeit a small one. Competition remains high from online retailers, supercenters and warehouse clubs, forcing some operators to leave the industry in the midst of the recovery. However, corporate profit and consumer spending are projected to improve over the next five years, driving modest growth in revenue.

This industry includes stores that primarily sell stationery and school and office supplies or a combination of new computers, office equipment, furniture and supplies. This industry does not include general merchandisers or electronic retailers.

This report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including

the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecasts, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
