Market Overview:
The global mechanical pencil leads market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.5% during the forecast period from 2018 to 2030. The growth in this market can be attributed to the increasing demand for mechanical pencils across different applications, and the growing popularity of online shopping. In terms of type, the graphite and clay segment is expected to lead the global mechanical pencil leads market during the forecast period, owing to its high demand from students and professionals for drawing and sketching purposes. In terms of region, North America is expected to lead the global mechanical pencil leads market during the forecast period, followed by Europe and Asia Pacific.
Product Definition:
A lead is a thin piece of graphite, metal, or plastic used in a mechanical pencil to make markings on paper.
Graphite and Clay:
Clay is a material that has high content of clay, which acts as an absorbent for the color and moisture from the paper. The graphite in mechanical pencil leads is compressed into small pieces and mixed along with the clay to form a lead. The type of lead depends upon its usage such as drafting, technical drawing or line drawing.
Plastic Polymers:
Plastic polymers are the most commonly used raw materials for manufacturing mechanical pencil leads. They are available in various forms such as thermoplastic, thermoset or heat-resistant and high impact resistant among others. The type of polymer selected depends on the desired properties that a manufacturer wants to impart in the product he/she is manufacturing.
Application Insights:
The offline segment dominated the global mechanical pencil leads market, accounting for more than 60.0% share of the total revenue in 2017. Offline applications include drawing and writing on paper as well as digital devices such as computers, laptops and tablets. The growth of the online application segment is directly proportional to that of internet usage globally which has resulted in high adoption of these products across schools and colleges.
Online application witnessed significant growth with a CAGR exceeding 11% from 2018 to 2030 owing to its ability to be used by people anywhere at any time. Furthermore, technological advancements have made it possible for users worldwide to experience natural handwriting via electronic devices without any major changes or modifications being made thereto which is expected fuel further demand over the forecast period especially in developing regions like Asia Pacific and Middle East & Africa where technological adoption is higher than North America or Europe due largely in part due primarily Latin America having been early adopters when compared region wise (Offline vs Online).
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global mechanical pencil leads market in 2017 owing to increasing demand for drawing and coloring instruments in countries, such as China, Japan, India, and South Korea. In addition, growing penetration of the leading manufacturers of mechanical pencils including Pentel; Sakura; erase-x; Uniball; Faber-Castell is expected to drive product demand over the forecast period.
North America is also anticipated to witness significant growth over the coming years owing to high consumer awareness regarding education and learning along with a strong preference for stationery products including mechanical pencils among students in U.S., Canada & Mexico. Europe accounted for more than 25% share of total volume in 2017 on account of high preference among consumers from Germany & UK for clay leads due their smooth writing quality while sketching or doodling on paper surfaces during academic activities at school or college levels.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for mechanical pencils from students and professionals for taking notes and drawing sketches.
- Growing popularity of lead refills among artists and hobbyists as they offer a wider range of colors than conventional pencils.
- Rising demand for metallic leads in the jewelry designing industry as they provide better detailing than other types of leads.
- Technological advancements in the manufacturing process that have resulted in the development of thinner and stronger leads with improved writing performance.
- increasing awareness about the benefits of using mechanical pencil leads over traditional graphite pencils among consumers across different age groups
