Rising Demand for Educational Toys
The increasing preference for educational toys is a significant factor contributing to India baby toys market growth. Parents are increasingly drawn to toys that promote cognitive development, enhance problem-solving abilities and encourage early learning. STEM-based toys, Montessori kits and interactive learning games are particularly popular for fostering creativity and logical thinking from a young age. Additionally, the emphasis on screen-free hands-on learning has further accelerated the demand for these products. Many brands are introducing age-appropriate toys designed to align with early childhood educational milestones. For instance, in July 2023, Steelbird launched an innovative Baby Walker with Bluetooth connectivity enhancing infant learning and entertainment. This unique product allows babies to enjoy diverse audio content. With a focus on safety and development, Steelbird aims to capture a significant share of India's growing baby toys market. E-commerce platforms have made these products more accessible offering personalized recommendations and interactive purchasing experiences. Schools and daycare centers are also incorporating educational toys into their curriculum further driving market expansion. With continuous innovation and parental awareness educational toys are expected to significantly influence the India baby toys market share.
Growth of Licensed and Character-Based Toys
The growth of licensed and character-based toys is driving significant interest in the baby toys sector. Popular cartoon and movie franchises, superhero-themed toys and animated character merchandise are capturing the attention of young children making them a preferred choice for parents and gift-givers. Collaborations between toy manufacturers and entertainment companies are fueling the introduction of collectible figurines, action figures and themed playsets. For instance, in May 2023, Kinder Joy announced the launch of a new TVC in India featuring limited-edition Tom & Jerry and Hello Kitty toys. Conceptualized by TBWA India the campaign highlights the brand’s appeal to children. Additionally, streaming platforms and animated series have increased exposure to global characters further boosting demand. Licensed toys are also heavily promoted through digital campaigns, influencer marketing and branded events enhancing their appeal. Retailers and e-commerce platforms offer exclusive character collections encouraging limited-time purchases. With growing consumer spending on branded merchandise and expanding partnerships in the entertainment sector, licensed and character-based toys will play a crucial role in shaping the India baby toys market outlook.
