“Increasing demand from children to drive the washable markers market”

The washable markers market size is projected to grow from USD 425.5 million in 2018 to USD 507.0 million by 2023, at a CAGR of 3.57%. Washable markers are one of the fastest-growing types of writing instruments and are expected to gain widespread popularity in the coming years. Teachers and parents do not need to worry about stained clothing or walls when children work with washable markers. The washable markers market is expected to witness significant growth in the future because of their ever-increasing popularity and their benefits and uses in the education industry. Increase in the number of school-going children coupled with a rise in the disposable income of households eventually drives the growth of the washable markers market. However, the washable markers market is threatened by the increase in shift toward e-learning and digital platforms.

“By end user, the children segment is estimated to hold the largest share of the washable markers market in 2018”

The children segment accounted for the largest market in 2018. The growth and high demand for washable markers among children can be attributed to the fact that marks from washable markers can be easily removed from clothes, skin, and walls just by wiping a wet sponge across the surface. Since washable markers do not permanently stain a surface, they are perfect for home and classroom use. Moreover, washable markers are also non-toxic, and thus they are ideal choices for use by children

“The Asia Pacific region is set to witness healthy growth during the forecast period”

The Asia Pacific market is projected to be the fastest-growing market during the forecast period. The global players, to improve their presence in this region, have started expanding their businesses.

Countries considered under the Asia Pacific region for the study of washable markers include China, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific, which includes India, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia. The rising demand for writing instruments such as washable markers in corporate offices is expected to boost the growth of the washable markers market in the Asia Pacific region.

The super washable segment is projected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period.

The super washable segment is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. One of the key advantages of super-washable markers is that they do not require any additional solvent for the ink to be removed. The ink from super-washable markers and water-based ink markers can be cleaned from non-porous laminate surfaces found on most classroom desks by simply using water.

In terms of end user, the children segment is projected to grow at a higher rate during the forecast period.

The children segment is projected to be faster-growing in the next five years. Coloring and drawing supplies, as a means of exploring creativity and curiosity, are mainly targeted at children, especially those under the age of 14. These supplies would include washable markers. Among all the felt-tip markers and pens available, washable markets will be preferable among parents as children tend to draw on walls and other places where people would not like to retain them permanently.

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2018 while the Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.

North America accounted for the largest market share in 2018. The region is a significant and growing market for washable markers, owing to the growing demand for writing instruments from schools, households, and corporates. Crayola LLC, headquartered in the US, is a major player operating in North America. According to Crayola LLC, it has 99% name recognition in the US. Other writing instrument manufacturers operating in North America include Bic Corp and Faber-Castell USA, with a significant market share in the North American washable markers market.

The Asia Pacific region is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The standard of living is improving in this region, which, in turn, fuels the per-capita spending on education and on creative expression products. Countries considered under the Asia Pacific region for the study of washable markers include China, Japan, Australia, and the Rest of Asia Pacific which includes India, South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, and Malaysia. The rising demand for writing instruments such as washable markers in corporate offices is expected to boost the growth of the washable markers market in the Asia Pacific region.
