The newly published Pen and Mechanical Pencil Manufacturing Industry report provides the latest market research on the industry. Its comprehensive scope contains analysis on the industry's key financial data, competitive landscape, upstream and downstream industries, and trends and opportunities within the context of the current economic environment.

In 2008, the value of imported products within this industry into the U.S. has been relatively high, at approximately 100% of U.S. production. Because of this reliance on imports, the report covers the foreign trade statistics including the top 25 countries the U.S. imports from and their respective import values. The downstream analysis section of this industry reveals a large dependency on personal consumption. Understanding the recessionary effects on consumer consumption for products within this industry is essential. This industry has a high concentration of players, with the market consisting of fewer companies with relative similarity in size. This aspect exposes the industry to further possibility of merger and acquisition opportunities, as well as anti-trust scrutiny.
