Digital Integration Maximizing Play Value
The integration of digital components into conventional toys is transforming the manner in which children engage with playthings in Mexico. Toys that incorporate augmented reality (AR), app connectivity, and interactive digital content are becoming more popular among technology-conscious parents looking for educational and entertaining options for their kids. This convergence of physical and digital play has resulted in increased perceived value for toys, as manufacturers focus on characteristics that induce both enjoyment and cognitive advancement. The change is aided by accelerating smartphone and internet penetration among Mexican consumers, impacting purchasing decisions even among younger consumers. For instance, in April 2025, Moose Toys unveiled a direct-to-retail expansion into Mexico, including the MrBeast Lab collectibles and action figures, amidst 4% YoY growth in the country's toy industry. Moreover, Mexico toys and games market outlook is bright as digital incorporation propels product innovation and attractiveness. This trend will continue to grow as newer technologies become more affordable and accessible, offering immersive experiences that enrich both individual and group play for kids in different age segments.
Educational Toys Gaining Preference
There is significant growth in the demand for developmental skill and cognitive learning educational toys among consumers in Mexico. More parents are opting for products supporting early childhood learning, such as language skills development, problem-solving, and coordination of motor. This trend tracks with heightened concern for child developmental milestones and how structured play will help reinforce school-readiness. Educational toys—particularly those that involve interactive, sensory, and STEM-oriented elements—are gaining mounting space on specialty and department store shelves throughout the nation. Furthermore, spurred by an expanding emphasis on learning-driven play, Mexico toys and games market growth continues to demonstrate consumer demand for purposeful, knowledge-driven products. As educational standards change and academic achievement becomes a priority in homes, toys that serve as dual-purpose learning tools are set up for long-term viability and growth in the larger market environment.
Preference for Licensed and Character-Based Toys
Character toys licensed from mass media such as animated movies, TV shows, and digital series have been growing in popularity among Mexican young consumers. The products based on a character from media provide the familiar and excitement appeal, covering the space between play and entertainment. With greater access to foreign media franchises due to online resources and streaming channels, demand for recognizable character-based merchandise has picked up. This has generated a run on toy categories like action figures, dolls, puzzles, and even themed ride-ons with these characters. Mexico toys and games market share has taken a significant gain from the longstanding popularity of licensed products, which solidifies brand loyalty and invites repeat business. For example, in April 2023, WHP Global teamed up with El Puerto de Liverpool to introduce Toys 'R' Us into Mexico, opening flagship stores and an ecommerce platform to drive the brand's growth in Latin America. Furthermore, this trend is also likely to be robust, with content consumption trends still driving toy preferences, new character launches continuing to refresh lines and drive sales in different formats of retailing.
