Global Office Products Markets Investigated

The global office products industry has been critically disrupted and the pain has not ended.

“In such turbulent times, senior industry executives need a reliable yardstick against which to assess their own perceptions and strategies,” says Steve Hilleard, publisher of OPI—the global office products (OP) industry magazine.

Hilleard has announced the release the fifth edition of the annual research study, “The State Of The OP Industry 2017-18”—a project prepared in conjunction with Martin Wilde Associates, specialist researchers to the global OP market.

“This ‘must have’ authoritative sourcebook investigates the OP markets in the US, Canada, Benelux, France, Germany, UK and Australia in detail.” Hilleard added. He claims one of the real benefits of the publication is the analysis and commentary from Martin Wilde who has an unrivalled experience of researching the global OP market.

The publication reveals which product categories are growing or declining overall in 2017 and 2018 and which distribution channels won or lost share in 2017 and 2018.

Martin Wilde (pictured), who spoke at RT Media’s Imaging Summit in Cancun in 2017, demonstrated a first-hand knowledge of the core OP market that has been captured by Amazon/Amazon Business.  This new publication will detail which customers Amazon has been most successful in capturing. The authoritative industry-wide report being will be available in March 2018 for £599 (US$) if ordered before 31st January 2018. Otherwise the regular price is £850 (US$) thereafter.
