Growth Drivers

Innovations in back-to-school products

In addition, these backpacks are designed to evenly distribute the weight of the materials to lower stress on the shoulders. Additionally, there have been a lot of innovations in pens in recent years, like leak-proof cartridges, vibration reduction while writing, and smooth flow ink, which have made the market more dynamic. As a result of these rapid innovations in back-to-school supplies, the market in Asia-Pacific is growing rapidly.

Seasonal Sales by Retailers

Asia-Pacific back-to-school market has grown in part due to the sale offers offered by retailers. Sales of school uniforms will likely increase as kids seek a fresh start as they head back to school. The back-to-school season is a time of new beginnings, and consumers are more eager to start over after the pandemic. This emotion of consumers will add to spending more on shopping. As families purchase school supplies, clothes, and college dorm décor during sales, retailers profit immensely.

Restraints

Asia Pacific back-to-school market growth is hindered by the anxiety students experience about changes in the classroom and new requirements that would be in place in the post-COVID period. As a result, many parents are faced with unexpected financial concerns affecting the purchase of back-to-school supplies. In contrast, few parents and kids are excited about the upcoming school year and eager to get back into the classroom. Having been away from a social, educational setting for such a long time, purchasing new clothes and school supplies must be an altogether different feeling for students and their parents.
