Papermate Pens Market Report: Sales Volume, Market Share, Leading Brands & Market Trends

Paper Mate is the best-performing papermate pens brand in July 2026, moving 109,000 units across 7 ASINs for 69.0% of Top 10 volume. BIC follows with 49,000 units (31.0%).

With 2 brands splitting the Top 10 and 100.0% 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 $4.32 to $9.53, 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, one ASIN forced its way in: B01EB6E3EC booked 10K units at $7.99, with ▲ 233.3% MoM change. On the growth side, B001GXHEYK leads positive momentum with ▲ 500.0% MoM growth on 600 units, with B0013CGC8S close behind at ▲ 350.0% MoM on 900 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already changed hands — an incumbent gave up its place to make room, so any competitive set drawn up a month ago is now out of date.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.
