Black Paper Market Report: Sales Volume, Market Share, Leading Brands & Market Trends

HP Papers is the best-performing black paper brand in July 2026, moving 70,000 units across 1 ASIN for 53.4% of Top 10 volume. Five Star follows with 20,000 units (15.3%), ahead of Mead on 10,000 units (7.6%).

With 10 brands splitting the Top 10 and 76.3% of volume sitting with three of them, this is a concentrated shelf — the leaders hold multiple listings or one very high-velocity ASIN, so a new entrant competes against established review moats rather than an open field. Average selling prices among the leaders run from $5.00 to $6.97, which frames the price band a competing listing has to justify.

Based on July 2026 data, this shortlist surfaces the two kinds of ASIN worth keeping an eye on — the ones that just broke into the Top 10, and the ones growing fastest month over month. Specifically, 2 ASINs forced its way in: B0D64CYCQY booked 3K units at $1.89, with ▲ 275.0% MoM change. On the growth side, B0GLYH17J8 leads positive momentum with ▲ 300.0% MoM growth on 400 units.

The two signals carry different weight. A fresh entrant means share has already changed hands — an incumbent gave up its place to make room, so any competitive set drawn up a month ago is now out of date. A steep growth rate works as the earlier warning: it marks demand that is still compounding, usually a month or two before the ranking catches up to it.
