Office Supply Market Entry Analysis: Remote Working Opportunity Assessment

Background: Sizing and Prioritising the Work-From-Home Office Market

A global office supplies company sought to understand potential growth in supplying the previously untapped work-from-home market. Previous work had identified a number of niche product segments as attractive growth areas, but internal research data was insufficient to validate this opportunity.

The key question was:
“What is the size and growth potential of the work-from-home office market, and which product categories should we prioritise for entry?”

Service: Market Analysis
Sector: Manufacturing & Industrials

Approach: Market Sizing and Expert Validation to Support Category Prioritisation

We used a wide range of desk sources to understand the landscape around the target product categories. This included:

  • Amazon sales data
  • Online search trends
  • Market reports
  • Sales marketplace listings analysis across UK, France and Germany

We presented a full view of the landscape including market size, competitor offerings, pricing, sales level by product, and level of interest by market.

We also conducted depth interviews with market experts from online retailers to dig underneath the data and understand the channel sales opportunities in these categories and the strength of the competition.

Outcome: Data-Driven Category Prioritisation and Market Entry Strategy

The project delivered a robust overview of the opportunity within product categories across European markets. We outlined high-growth niches and geographic variation to support targeting within these categories.

Our work supported the client as they decided which categories to prioritise, and then how they take these products to market.
