Growth of China Toys Market Flourishing Due to Rising Parental Concerns

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “China Toys Market: Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2018-2023”, the China toys market reached a value of US$ 12 Billion in 2017. The toys market in China is presently the second largest across the globe and its development has offered huge remunerative opportunities to domestic as well as international manufacturers. Designed exclusively for young children, toys refer to items which help in playing and learning new things. They are primarily made of materials like cardboard, wood, cloth, plastic and clay. Toys help in the overall development of children as they are a great way to de-stress, and improve social, physical and cognitive skills.

On account of rising disposable incomes and changing lifestyles, parents are, nowadays, paying more attention to their children’s early education so as to cultivate creativity amongst them. As these toys combine learning and fun, they are well received by parents and children alike, in turn, augmenting the demand for educational toys. Apart from this, investments from international toy brands, like Mattel, Hasbro and Lego, are contributing to the growth of the China toys market. These investments are a result of rising popularity and mounting domestic demand for toys in the region. Moreover, China has recently witnessed a boom in the e-commerce sector because of the evolution of smartphones and other digital media platforms. Online platforms have enabled International brands in directly selling their products to the Chinese population without being physically present in the country. Looking forward, the market value is projected to exceed US$ 22 Billion by 2023, expanding at a CAGR of 11% during 2018-2023.
