Traditional Toys and Games Market - Growth, Trends, COVID-19 Impact, and Forecasts (2022 - 2027)
Global traditional toys and games market is projected to grow at the CAGR of 3.1% during the forecast period, 2020 to 2025.
Key HighlightsParents are increasingly encouraging their kids to buy outdoor and sports toys due to the growing prevalence of childhood obesity and other health problems in many countries across the globe. Apart from outdoor and sports toys, demand for construction toys is also growing a fast rate mainly driven by their vast cognitive and intellectual benefits among kids of different age groups. Currently, parents, as well as teachers, are recognizing the overall importance of these construction toys for fostering spatial and creative skills among pre-school kids, thus the sales of this traditional toy variety are increasing. Also, the rising usage of construction toys among adult kids for boosting their learning capabilities is one of the key factors driving the overall growth of this traditional toy category. In the last few years, a number of toy manufacturers have focused on bringing new shapes and design options that allow children to create an array of innovative constructions.
For instance, in 2018 Paul Lamond Games launched a new brick construction toy line with a football focus in the shape of Nanostars. The range is created to combine admiration of football among kids with the activity of building brick constructions.
Increasing Demand in the Asiatic CountriesTraditional Toys and games market in Asia-Pacific is expected to expand its footprint on the industry due to countries like China, where the disposable income of people has increased and parents have increasingly started viewing traditional toys as an important tool for child development. It is expected that China would hold the highest share in traditional toy and games market in Asia-Pacific during the forecasted period due to the abolishment of the one-child policy in the country as of 2016, which thereby increases child population growth and subsequently toy demand in the years to come.
