Licensing means renting or leasing of an intangible asset. It is a process of creating and managing contracts between the owner of a brand and a company or individual who wants to use the brand in association with a product, for an agreed period of time, within an agreed territory. Licensing is used by brand owners to extend a trademark or character onto products of a completely different nature. In a Licensed Merchandise transaction, an artist, designer, trademark owner or celebrity (the "licensor") grants a license to a manufacturer or retailer (the "licensee") to manufacture and sell articles of merchandise which use the property that is the subject of the license, in exchange for a royalty from sales of those articles of merchandise. Typical licensed properties include artwork, characters, trademarks, celebrity names and likenesses, and book and movie titles. Licensed merchandise may include clothing, greeting cards, toys, games, housewares, jewellery, dinnerware, cosmetics and collectibles.

On the product side of our analysis, Apparel (17.80%), Toys (13.24%) and Accessories (11.33%) were the clear leading retail Sales share categories of licensed products in 2022. The size of the Home Decoration Category which was driven by the success of some large direct to retail licensing programs was a very healthy 7.33% of the market and we expect this category to grow in future years.

On a regional basis, in 2022, North America is the dominant market for Brand Licensing, accounting for 57.62% of global retail sales, followed by Europe (22.25%) and Asia-Pacific (15.12%). The greatest Brand Licensing sales growth was reported in developing regions of China.

The worldwide Brand Licensing market is becoming increasingly global with much of the new opportunity outside of the more saturated United States market. Economies are finally starting to rebound on a more global basis leading to strong growth trends in the Brand Licensing industry. Non-traditional retail channels and on-line commerce are and will be key sources of growth going forward. Direct-To-Retail license agreements continue to be an important mechanism to break into retail because they offer retailers something unique in a declining brick and mortar shelf space environment and enable new brands to gain a foothold into the retail market. As physical shelf space contracts, on-line shelf space is multiplying at a very rapid pace. The impact of digital product distribution is impacting the way we live, consume and entertain ourselves and that is serving to accelerate the globalization of our industry. And finally, on-line e-commerce is turning into the key distribution channel for licensed goods in developing markets as broadband infrastructure is being put in place ahead of traditional brick and mortar retail locations.
