Educational Toys Market Growth & Trends


The global educational toys market size is expected to reach USD 103.05 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 10.2% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Educational games and toys enhance children's IQ, boost cognitive functions, and improve coordination, and memory. The growing parental focus on early education before kindergarten and school entry is a driving force behind the rising demand.

In the market, there is a growing emphasis on sustainability as consumers increasingly seek eco-friendly and sustainable choices. This entails the utilization of sustainable materials such as recycled paper and cardboard, as well as minimizing packaging waste. In addition, a key consideration when purchasing these products is ensuring they are child-friendly and pose no harm to kids. UK-based The Wentworth Wooden Jigsaw Company Limited produces puzzles using wood from forests that are sustainably managed and the box is made from recycled materials. Zero plastic is used during packaging and all their puzzles are made to last.

As parents search for innovative methods to engage their children in brain-boosting activities while adding a personal touch, the popularity of personalized educational games and toys, featuring customized photos and designs, is rising. Dowdle, a U.S.-based puzzle company provides personalized wooden puzzles with custom images, allowing you to use your personal or customized photos, available in two sizes: 280 pieces and 510 pieces. These tailor-made games and puzzles serve as fantastic gifts for your loved ones.

Toys that encourage parental involvement in a child's learning process are designed to facilitate educational activities that parents and children can enjoy together. They promote quality bonding time and help children develop various skills. For example, Construction sets like LEGO or K'NEX encourage parents and children to build together, fostering creativity, fine motor skills, and engineering concepts.

The market players are offering mail-order service that delivers specifically timed play kits. For instance, Lovevery offers play kits designed around Montessori tenets for different developmental windows. Each box is a mix of toys and books (or cards for babies) that start at birth and go all the way up to four years old. The kits come every two months through the first year.
