Toys Market

Market Overview:

The global toys market size reached US$ 170.7 Billion in 2022. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 267.9 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.2% during 2023-2028.

Toys are playthings used to foster learning and growth in infants and children at an early stage of their development. They also boost the intelligence quotient (IQ), increase motor development, improve concentration and creativity, and promote the personality and communication skills. They are generally made using wood, metal, textiles, polyethylene, polypropylene, ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), styrene-derived polymers, and technical plastics like polyamide, polycarbonate, or polymethyl methacrylate. Nowadays, leading players are introducing innovative toys manufactured using biodegradable polymers like plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC). They are also offering hi-tech electronic toys through online distribution channels.

Toys Market Trends:

Introducing physical activity and educational toys at an early stage of a child’s development enhances their senses, imagination, and social skills. This, in confluence with the rising concerns among parents about the social and emotional development of their child, represents one of the key factors impelling the market growth. Moreover, playschools are offering science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) toys, such as boxes, blocks, musical instruments, and jigsaw puzzles, in their education to instill creativity and problem-solving skills in kids. Apart from this, the thriving e-commerce industry on account of the increasing reliance on smartphones and the growing internet penetration is driving the sales of innovative electronic and digital toys over conventional battery-operated toys. Furthermore, the increasing popularity of tech-savvy electronic toys among children as well as adults that depict action figures like Batman, Superman, Ironman, and Captain America is contributing to the market growth. Besides this, governments of numerous countries are encouraging companies to design and introduce toys based on culture, ethos, and local folklore and heroes, which is anticipated to drive the market.
