The South Korea office supplies market size was estimated at USD 1.09 billion in 2024 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.0% from 2025 to 2030. Key industries such as finance, technology, and manufacturing are flourishing, leading to an increasing demand for office infrastructure, including furniture and stationery. This growth is further amplified by the rising presence of multinational corporations and significant foreign investment, which necessitate more commercial office spaces. As businesses expand and new enterprises emerge, the continuous requirement for equipping these spaces forms a fundamental driver for market demand.

A significant shift in work paradigms, notably the rise of remote and hybrid work models, has spurred considerable demand for home office supplies and furniture, as employees and students seek to establish ergonomic, functional, and comfortable setups for productivity in their residential environments. This evolution in work arrangements has led to a noticeable preference for products that support flexible work, such as modular and ergonomic furniture, capable of accommodating both traditional office and home-based needs, thereby expanding the market’s scope beyond conventional office settings. Businesses are increasingly investing in these specialized and innovative office products to boost employee productivity and overall well-being, pushing manufacturers to continuously develop cutting-edge solutions that align with the evolving technological landscape of the modern office.

Furthermore, government policies actively support business expansion and office modernization, often allocating budgets for upgrading public and private office infrastructure. In January 2025, the MSS unveiled its 2025 plan, focusing on revitalizing the local economy, fostering innovation, and proactively addressing future challenges. This strategy includes financial aid of ~USD 2.37 billion (KRW 3.2 trillion) and ~USD 1.11 billion (KRW 1.5 trillion) for import/export companies, alongside a ~USD 741 million (KRW 1.0 trillion) venture investment initiative. These initiatives foster the adoption of advanced office supplies and furniture. Simultaneously, South Korean consumers and businesses are increasingly prioritizing high-quality, functional, and aesthetically pleasing office solutions.

Evolving consumer preferences are significantly influencing the South Korean office supplies market. There is a marked shift towards high-quality, functional, and aesthetically pleasing items, with a strong emphasis on ergonomic designs that enhance employee well-being. This trend is further amplified by a growing demand for eco-friendly and sustainable products, reflecting a broader environmental consciousness among both businesses and individual consumers.
