KEY MARKET INSIGHTS

The rising children population's demand for smart technology-based interactive play kits & toys is mainly driving the connected toys market growth. In addition, the increasing popularity of WIFI and Bluetooth technology-based puzzles, building & construction sets, and other educational toys among school students further accelerates the product demand globally.



  • According to the data released by the Toy Association, sales of building sets in the U.S. increased from USD 2.29 billion in 2020 to USD 2.67 billion in 2021.


Furthermore, the continual provision of the interactive, WIFI, and Near Communication Field (NFC) technology-based toys by the key manufacturing companies, such as Mattel Inc., Hasbro Inc., and others, is likely to influence kids toward buying such items, thereby favoring global connected toys industry growth.


  • For instance, in 2019, Mattel Inc. launched an NFC technology-based 'Hot Wheels id’, a play kit of cars and trucks for the next generation of children.


Additionally, governmental assistance in spreading awareness regarding the toy industry-related entrepreneurship opportunities is expected to support the connected toys market development.


  • For instance, in January 2021, the Government of India launched 'TOYCATHON 2021’, a hackathon event for students, teachers, and start-up entrepreneurs in India. The event aimed to increase the number of toy manufacturers and develop the overall Indian toy industry.    


Nowadays, Lego Group, Hasbro Inc., and other prominent toy manufacturing companies launch various promotional campaigns to build their brand image and increase product reach. These companies' efforts will increase the connected toys demand globally.


  • For instance, in October 2020, the Lego A/S, a KIRKBI A/S-owned connected toy manufacturing company, launched 'The Little Red Brick’, a campaign to increase its brand image and enter the Indian toy industry.


Impact of COVID-19 on the Connected Toys Market


During the COVID-19-related lockdown restrictions, parents prefer giving their children Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) toys and gadgets to motivate them to stay indoors and improve their educational learning experiences. This aspect has resulted in a significant increase in consumer demand for smart educational toys and favored the market growth amid the pandemic.


  • For instance, Mattel Inc., an American connected toys manufacturer, reported 2% jump in its overall sales revenues and reached USD 4,583.7 million in 2020.


However, the closure of toy shops and departmental stores due to COVID-19 related lockdown restrictions in many countries has lowered the connected toy products sales from these stores and hampered the market growth.
