Digital Pen Market Dynamics

Driver: Increasing popularity in e-learning and schools

The increasing use of digital devices, such as laptops and tablets, among others, in schools as a way of learning is contributing to the rising demand for digital pens among consumers. These pens benefit students struggling with organization, comprehension, and note-taking and can be used as calculators to help students with learning disabilities explore math concepts. Digital pens offer numerous features that help teachers and students take notes, review content, and prepare tests. They also aid in test accommodations and formative assessments. These factors are boosting their adoption among students, e-learning, & schools. The number of schools and colleges is increasing worldwide, particularly in developing countries such as China and India. Rising disposable income in these countries allows people to provide quality education for their children. Simultaneously, governments worldwide are setting up educational institutes & centers to provide education to underprivileged children. Rising disposable income in several countries allows households to spend significantly on children's education, boosting the demand for digital pens. Moreover, students worldwide look forward to pursuing higher education at leading colleges and universities to advance their careers. The education system in China, which has been evolving since the end of the Cultural Revolution, has undergone numerous reforms. As of 2017, about 564 international schools were operating in China. Educational facilities in the country continued to develop as national investments focused on higher education.

Driver: Ease of scanning & reading documents & files in various languages and converting handwriting into digital format

To avoid excessive use of paper, several corporate offices are focusing on reducing their dependence on paper and going paperless. In 2021, more than 50% of waste was composed of paper. It has been estimated that corporate offices in the U.S. use more than 12.1 trillion sheets of paper annually. Moreover, paper accounts for over 26% of landfill waste. Furthermore, it leads to environmental concerns and inefficiency as paper does not give enterprises the business insights & intelligence they need to succeed. Several countries are, thus, trying to eliminate the use of paper in the corporate sector and digitalize business processes entirely. This has subsequently led to increased use of computers, laptops, smartphones, and tablets, among other devices. Thus, the growing digitalization trend is expected to boost the adoption of digital pens in the corporate sector. The ease of scanning and reading documents in various languages is a significant factor in promoting the adoption of digital pens in the corporate sector. Moreover, digital pens help reduce the expenses of general office supplies, increasing their usability among consumers. According to an article by Natalya Berdzeni, the executive vice president for spend management services at LAC Group, which helps companies track their expenditures, published in 2018, the group's clients spend an average of USD 200 per employee annually, or USD 17 per month, on office supplies. Major paper consumers, such as law firms, spend an average of USD 1,000 per employee annually, or USD 83 per month. Thus, companies are increasingly opting for digital pens to minimize their expenditure on office supplies.

Restraint: Higher preference for pen & paper and high price of digital pen products 

The cost of digital pens is high compared with conventional ball pens. Therefore, price-conscious consumers are likely to refrain from purchasing these pens. Regarding cost as a key buying criterion, buyers prefer ball pens and other office supplies. The lack of a distribution network also restricts market growth. Due to its high price and low consumer demand, the product limits its shelf space in retail stores. Moreover, as per Dave Regan, the vice president of sales and marketing at The Vernon Company, the hefty price tag makes pitching digital pens a long shot. Other expenses, such as the need for special paper to capture notes by digital pen and feasible touch screens only, are among the significant factors limiting product adoption among consumers. Moreover, the availability of various features, such as recording, which is already available on smartphones, puts a dim light on the product's functionality. The high price of the product makes it less ubiquitous and results in less traction during the forecast period. The higher preference for traditional pens and paper is restraining the growth of the market for digital pens. According to a survey conducted by NeoLAB Convergence Inc. in 2015, about 75% of businesspeople, even with the availability of tablets & laptops, preferred taking notes during meetings using pens & paper. Nearly 65% of respondents attributed this to the simplicity of writing by hand. In addition, 60% of respondents who took notes by hand typed them up after the meeting. These factors pose a significant challenge to market growth.
