Significant technological advancements, increasing sale of STEM toys, rising disposable income of consumers, and the expanding purchasing power of people represent some of the key factors driving the growth of the market.

Germany Toys Market Trends:

Technological Advancements

The major factors leading the Germany toys market are technological advancements and innovations. Traditional toys are increasingly being replaced by new toys integrated with interactive tools like augmented reality (AR), along with other educational elements. Such innovations are attracting the younger generation and their families not only for entertainment but also because these toys help develop various aspects of children's learning and thinking processes. This aligns with the educational objectives of many German families. STEM toys, which include items related to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, have experienced a particularly large increase in sales, which is due to the growing focus on educational and developmental toys. The German toy manufacturers are focusing on innovation and investing in research and development (R&D) to introduce new toys that are likely to be on high demand, thus contributing to the market growth of toys in Germany. For instance, research and development expenditure reached a new all-time high in Germany in 2021. They rose by 5.6% to 112.6 billion euros compared with the previous year, as is reported by the Federal Statistical Office based on provisional results.

Rising Disposable Income

The increased disposable income and the growing trend of spending more on toys are key factors driving the expansion of the toy market in Germany. Improved economic standards have resulted in higher disposable incomes for German households, allowing more spending on leisure and entertainment products, including high-quality and premium toys. As consumer wealth has increased, families can afford a diverse range of toys for different age groups and preferences. Additionally, smaller family sizes mean that parents and grandparents are more willing to make significant expenditures on children, often opting for high-quality, expensive, and branded toys. This shift towards higher toy expenditure is further supported by market promotions and attractive advertising campaigns, fueling market growth. For instance, the introduction of “Disney Lorcana” trading card game was the most successful product launch. Developed in-house, the game was released in August 2023 in close cooperation with licensor Disney. It fascinated seasoned trading card players and Disney fans alike, who queued up for it at international toy fairs and games conventions.
