Kenya Stationery Market Synopsis
The Kenya Stationery Market during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 was negatively affected owing to the closure of schools and offices due to the pandemic. Also, many stationery items are imported, and the pandemic has led to disruptions in transportation and logistics, causing delays and shortages of products. However, the rise in the total number of schools by 1.4% from 2020 to 2021 and the government’s initiative to reduce the cost of notebooks by 70%, resulted in the growth of market revenues of stationery items.
According to 6Wresearch, Kenya stationery market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.6% during 2023–29. The Kenya stationery market is expected to show significant growth over the coming years on account of the initiatives taken by the government of Kenya such as Operation Come-to-School, the Primary Education Development Program that includes the enhancement of schools by improving sanitation, teaching standards, access to textbooks and bringing back the children to the school who are affected by poverty, child labor, and other factors. These initiatives would increase the enrolment of students in primary and secondary schools which would propel the market of stationery in the forthcoming years. Moreover, the government has plans to increase their capital to public universities in Kenya by $330.3 million in 2023 and also, it is expected that the expenditure on education will rise from $5.1 million in 2020 to $8.1 million in 2030 which would further create more demand for stationery products. Furthermore, it is expected that the population in Nairobi city would increase to 10.4 million by 2025 from 5.2 million in 2022 which would increase the adoption of education in the coming years, and propel the Kenya Stationery Market Growth.
