Firstly, due to the low labor cost in China, most of the stationery products are manufactured, which leads to the relatively low prices of stationery products. Secondly, Chinese consumers are price-sensitive and tend to purchase products with lower prices. Thirdly, many stationery manufacturers in China have developed their own brands and have a certain market share, which also contributes to the relatively low prices of stationery products in China.
