Driving Factors

As economies grow and living standards rise, parents are allocating a larger portion of their income to provide enriching experiences and developmental tools for their children. With more disposable income, parents can prioritize the purchase of high-quality, technologically advanced toys that correspond to their goals for their children's education and entertainment. This trend is especially visible in emerging economies, where a growing middle class wants to provide their children with a diverse range of toys that promote learning, creativity, and skill development. Moreover, parents are increasingly looking for toys that provide more than just entertainment; they prioritize products that aid in their child's cognitive development and educational advancement. Parents choose STEM-focused toys that promote critical thinking, problem-solving, and technological literacy in order to prepare their children for a rapidly changing world. This shift in preference has resulted in an increase in demand for toys that integrate science, technology, engineering, and mathematics concepts in novel and engaging ways, in line with current educational trends.

Restraining Factors

Online games are popular among children because they can be played on smartphones and tablets without the use of a separate play kit. This will most likely pose challenges to the growth of video console kit makers' businesses, stifling industry growth. Furthermore, the occurrence of skin rashes associated with the prolonged use of dolls and construction play kits (due to the presence of harmful chemicals such as phthalates, lead, and flame-retardant chemicals) is influencing consumer preferences.
