Global Fountain Pen Sales Close to a Billion Dollars a Year

[calamus]

Here's a newer article, from June of 2023. I recently posted an old article (c. 2012) about climbing fountain pen sales, and some of us were wondering about the current numbers, given the crazy fiscal stuff of the last couple of years. So I dug around and found the linked article. Actually, it's more of an ad for their newsletters than an actual article, but they did include some actual information. It looks as if fountain pens sales have remained strong, and are projected to continue growing. They claim, "The global Fountain Pen market size was valued at USD 929.0 million in 2021 and is expected to expand at a CAGR of 2.51Percent during the forecast period, reaching USD 1078.0 million by 2027."
