LONDON--()--The global online toys and games retailing market is expected to grow at a CAGR of around 7% during the forecast period, according to Technavio’s latest report.

In this report, Technavio covers the market outlook and growth prospects of the global online toys and games retailing market for 2017-2021. The market is segmented on product, which includes online plush toys, online infant/pre-school toys, online activity and ride-on toys, online dolls, and online games and puzzles.

The growth in online retailing has allowed toys and games manufacturers to reach out to their audience and provide licenses easily to their franchisees. Online shopping is convenient for consumers as the online shopping portals can be accessed 24/7 by consumers from anywhere. These platforms also allow consumers to compare different brands. Thus, toys and games manufacturers are focusing on developing and maintaining elaborate websites where parents can purchase toys according to the age of their kids and the skills they want to be inculcated in them.

Technavio segments the global online toys and games retailing market into the following regions:

  • Americas
  • APAC
  • EMEA

Americas: largest online toys and games retailing market

The online toys and games retailing market in the Americas is expected to maintain a positive growth trend in the coming years, as there is an increasing number of consumers opting for online purchase of toys and games. Online shopping is more convenient and offers better deals compared with brick and mortar stores,” says Sharan Jagannath, a lead analyst at Technavio for research on toys and baby products.

A key aspect contributing to the increase in the sales of online toys and games is the number of brick and mortar retailers opening websites of their own or partnering with online retail giants such as Amazon.com. The US, Brazil, and Canada are the major countries contributing to the growth of the online toys and games retailing market.
