Competitive Landscape

The market is highly fragmented, offering opportunities for both established players and newcomers. While a few major companies have solidified their presence, there is still ample room for growth.

Faber-Castell is actively working to strengthen its reputation in schools to drive market demand. For instance, in February 2024, they partnered with Ryan International School in Mumbai, India, to launch the Ryan Creative Studio, which encourages children to explore their creativity in arts and crafts.
