Growth Factors in the Toys and Games Industry:

• Rising Educational and Developmental Focus

The increasing awareness of the developmental benefits of educational and STEM toys is driving the market growth. For instance, in October 2023, Hasbro, Inc. a leading toy and game company announced the STEM-based program with Girl Up on International Day of the Girl to mobilize a movement of girl leadership, innovation, and creativity. Similarly, in November 2023, LeapFrog® Enterprises, Inc., a leader in innovative educational toys for children, announced the launch of new additions to its award-winning infant and preschool lines. These deliciously entertaining food role-play toys include the Build-a-Slice Pizza Cart™, Match & Learn Cookies™, Rainbow Tea for Two™ and Rainbow Learning Lights Mixer. Parents are increasingly choosing educational toys over traditional ones, influencing manufacturers to prioritize these products.

• Expansion of the E-commerce Sector

The growth of online retail platforms enhances accessibility, convenience, and a wider range of products for consumers. For instance, in August 2022, Amazon announced the launch of the 'Made in India' toy store. As the name implies, customers can purchase all the locally manufactured toys from the e-commerce platform. Indian sellers will also be able to sell locally produced toys. Amazon says the new initiative is in line with the government's calls for a self-reliant India. According to the data from Invest India, the Indian e-commerce industry is projected to reach US$ 300 billion by 2030, experiencing significant growth. The indigenous e-commerce giant Flipkart is poised to raise US$ 1 billion in a new funding round, with its parent company Walmart anticipated to contribute US$ 600 million.

• Significant Technological Advancements

The increasing integration of technology into toys, such as smart toys and augmented reality games, enhances play experiences, attracting tech-savvy children and parents seeking interactive and educational products. For instance, in January 2024, Ravensburger announced a trio of new family-friendly products set to release this year, including GraviTrax Junior, Garden Heist, and Oh My Pigeons! GraviTrax Junior aims to teach STEM concepts in a fun way by allowing children to create gravity-based marble runs using the tracks, tiles, and tools included in the set. The series includes base sets and add-ons, as well as jungle, ice, desert, and ocean-themed sets. Technology integration is making its mark as well; toys with interactive features like voice recognition are increasingly popular.

Key Trends in the Toys and Games Market

• The Advent of Nostalgia-Driven Sales

The advent of classic games and toys, both in their original forms and in modern adaptations, is gaining momentum in the market. Another key factor is the advent of nostalgia-driven sales, where limited edition releases of vintage or classic toys attract an older demographic. For instance, in April 2023, Mattel, Inc. announced the addition of a barbie doll with Down syndrome, created to allow even more children to see themselves in Barbie, as well as have Barbie reflect the world around them. The Barbie doll with Down syndrome is meant to inspire all children to tell more stories through play. This trend is creating new opportunities for manufacturers to tap into both younger and older consumer segments.

• Growth of Social Gaming Platforms

The emergence of online multiplayer games and social gaming platforms is reshaping the toys and games landscape. These platforms are driving substantial growth in digital interactive toys and game formats. The rise of e-commerce platforms allows for better global reach and easier access to niche collections, contributing to market growth. This trend is particularly evident in the Asia Pacific region, where consumers in countries like China and India are increasingly accessing toys and games through online platforms. E-commerce is making it easier for consumers to access a wide variety of products, even in remote areas.

• Focus on Personalized Customer Experience

The specialty stores distribution channel remains a crucial component in the toys and games industry, influenced by the personalized customer experience these stores offer, such as hands-on trials and expert guidance, which online channels can't fully replicate. Consumers often prefer specialty stores for exclusive or niche products that may not be readily available in mass retail or online. Another influential factor is the rise of 'shop local' movements, encouraging consumers to support community-based retailers. Brand collaborations and limited-edition releases also typically make their debut at specialty stores, attracting a dedicated consumer base looking for unique and collectible items.
