School and Office Products Industry AssessmentPublished by: Acclaro Growth Partners Published: May. 1, 2001 - 21 Pages Table of ContentsIntroduction
AbstractThe School and Office Products Industry Assessment - 2001 is a top-line analysis of the market for school and office products used in school, home-school, office and home-office environments, as well as school and office products used for personal purposes at home. The analysis of the market is based on the end-user dollars spent by customers in the industry, or sometimes referred to as the "retail market." However, "retail" is a misnomer in this case, as retail consumers represent only one customer group, in addition to institutional customers, contract customers, and direct customers (customers purchasing directly from manufacturers or manufacturers' reps). Essentially, this represents the total cumulative sales of all retailers, institutional dealers and distributors, contract stationers, office product wholesalers and dealers, mail order houses/catalogs, and Internet web sites with e-commerce.This is in contrast to the market for wholesale shipments, which would represent the sum of manufacturers' sales of the industry's products. The assessment is based on the perspective of a variety of players in the industry, including manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and a wealth of third-party and secondary research sources. This report includes fact and opinion-based information and is presented with charts, discussion, and analysis that describes and assesses the raw data. Issues addressed in this study include:

This report assesses products used only for school, home office and traditional office uses, and it does not include household products that are used for daily living, decorative, or home improvement purposes (i.e., housewares, kitchen, bath, cooking, garden, etc.). |
