Moreover, these nibs are used across various application industries such as food & beverage (for labeling), personal care (for labeling bottles), pharmaceutical (for indicating dosage) etc., which is anticipated fuel the demand further over the forecast period.
Regional Analysis:
Asia Pacific dominated the global stainless nib market in 2017 and is expected to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The growth of this region can be attributed to increasing product demand from end-use industries such as automotive, packaging, and food processing. In addition, rising disposable income coupled with a growing population will drive further growth in Asia Pacific.
The Europe market for stainless nib was valued at USD X billion in 2017 owing to high product demand from countries such as Germany and France along with other Eastern European countries.
Growth Factors:
- Increasing demand for luxury goods: The global market for luxury goods is expected to grow at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2016 to 2020. This will create demand for high-quality products such as stainless nibs, which are known for their durability and precision writing experience.
- Rising disposable income in developing countries: A large portion of the population in developing countries is expected to see an increase in disposable income over the next few years. This will lead to an increase in demand for premium products such as stainless nibs, which offer a better value proposition than traditional pens made with lesser quality materials.
- Growing popularity of fountain pens: Fountain pens are becoming increasingly popular due to their superior writing experience when compared with ballpoint or rollerball pens. Stainless nibs offer the best performance when used with fountain pens, making this segment one of the fastest growing markets for this type of pen Nibs made from other materials often result in poor ink flow and can cause damage to fountain pen ink cartridges over time .
