Analyst Opinion

In 2022, the Toys & Games market experienced a steady growth, primarily driven by increased consumer disposable income and a resurgence in demand for traditional toys and games. The market saw a notable shift in preference, with classic toys, board games, and educational toys regaining popularity among consumers. Overall, the Toys & Games market generated a total revenue of US$122.90 billion in 2022, reflecting a 2.9% increase from the previous year's revenue of US$119.50 billion.

The market is dominated by well-established companies such as Hasbro, Mattel, LEGO Group, and Spin Master. These industry leaders hold significant market shares in various product categories, including action figures, dolls, board games, puzzles, and construction sets. Additionally, niche toy manufacturers are emerging, catering to specific interests and segments of the market, adding diversity to the industry landscape.

Looking ahead, several trends are expected to shape the growth of the Toys & Games market. The rising popularity of educational toys that promote STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) learning is set to drive demand, as parents and educators increasingly seek toys that combine fun and learning. Furthermore, eco-friendly, and sustainable toys are gaining traction as consumers become more environmentally conscious, leading to an increased focus on responsibly sourced materials and manufacturing processes. Licensing agreements with popular franchises and characters from movies, TV shows, and books will continue to be a key strategy for toy manufacturers to leverage brand recognition and drive sales. Moreover, with the proliferation of e-commerce and online retail channels, the accessibility of Toys & Games has expanded, allowing consumers to explore a diverse range of products and make purchases conveniently from their homes. Given these trends, the Toys & Games market is poised for further growth in the coming years.
