According to 6Wresearch, the Nigeria Stationery Market is projected to experience growth at a CAGR of 6.2% from 2025 to 2031F. The Nigeria stationery market is witnessing substantial growth, driven by the expansion of the education sector, increasing student enrolment, a growing commercial sector, and government initiatives. For instance, the Nigerian government invested in 2024 for infrastructure upgrades at secondary schools, hostel and facility improvements at federal colleges and polytechnics, IDEAS Project, and ACE Project. These initiatives, aimed at increasing student enrolment and enhancing educational facilities, are expected to significantly boost the demand for stationery products, fueling market expansion.

Additionally, the commercial sector in Lagos is expanding with the introduction of office spaces, including projects such as Ulesh Ikoyi, Glover Office Tower, and Waterview in Ikoyi and Victoria Island. This growth in office space would drive demand for stationery products, such as paper, writing instruments, office supplies, and other materials, to support business operations, meetings, and documentation within these newly developed spaces.

The increase in school enrolment across Nigeria is a major factor driving the growth of the stationery market. States such as Bauchi, Niger, Kebbi, and Adamawa saw significant enrolment in 2022, fueling demand for stationery products. Additionally, in 2024, enrolment reached a high, and it is expected to rise more by 2030. This growth in student numbers would lead to heightened demand for essential stationery items, including notebooks, pens, pencils, and other school supplies, across both public and private educational institutions.
