Key drivers include surging demand for STEM educational toys, integration of AI/AR technologies, and expanding e-commerce channels that ease access. Entertainment IP-licensed products remain popular, while eco-friendly toys gain traction amid evolving consumer values.
Challenges persist, however. Digital entertainment vies for children’s attention, stricter safety regulations push up production costs, and economic fluctuations coupled with shifting age-based preferences pose pressures on manufacturers.
