UK Toys Market Trends and Drivers:

The UK toys market is a dynamic, fast-moving, innovative and consumer-led market within that shapes and reflects how families, retailers and manufacturers engage in the world of play. To meet the changing needs of households and the latest trends in entertainment, new and creative designs, upgraded play features and experiential play patterns are emerging.

This means companies are producing a wider range of products and being more innovative with the design of education-focused sets, themed sets based on characters, and role-play sets, as well as toys incorporating technology. As families understand the role of learning and emotional value of toys in childhood, the toys industry is moving towards a central role in early learning, cognitive engagement and social interaction.

This trend is largely driven by the continuing shift to education and skill development toys that ease learning at school and at home. Today, most parents are including stimulating creativity toys with an education purpose in their buying decisions, allowing kids to learn problem solving, hand-eye coordination, and scientific concepts through play.

This trend to increase knowledge-based play gives toys manufacturers the opportunity to provide more than just conventional types of play, and to begin incorporating additional learning and development objectives when they design and brand their toys. For additional brands to begin to imitate this trend to encourage creativity, interest in STEM at a younger age, and emotional development, educational toys could begin to have an important impact on the UK toys market.

Demand for eco-friendly and ethical toys drives the market. Households are increasingly looking for toys that are made of recyclable, responsibly sourced, biodegradable, or upcycled material and are sustainably produced. Due to this push, retailers and manufacturers are responding with sustainable and green production processes, sustainable packaging and product lines.

Sustainability is also becoming part of the everyday purchase decisions in more households, leading to greater acceptance in the marketplace of toys that are durable and sustainable to purchase. Furthermore, space for green ranges is increasingly being given in store and online by retailers, with this also driving buying trends throughout the country.

Additionally, the growth of new licensed products is expected to drive the market. Entertainment characters, streaming characters, and pop culture characters, which are increasingly popular among children, are creating a strong emotional connection with children through movies, digital platforms, and gaming platforms.

The growing popularity of narrative-based toys has led to partnerships between toy makers and entertainment companies to expand stories from screens into the world of play. Strong seasonality of busy parents shopping for trending and popular toys for birthdays and holidays when media and entertainment are in the public consciousness is supporting the growth of the category.

E-commerce is changing the competitive nature of the UK's toy industry. This provides customers with more choice, easier product comparisons, and arguably easier access to products. Online retailers are making lists of recommended products available. Product recommendations and user product reviews are being increasingly used to help customers make informed purchasing decisions for their family.

Digital visibility allows retailers to release exclusive ranges and limited edition lines aimed at parents and gift-giving customers. With e-commerce becoming integral to the purchasing adventure, reaching consumers across various ages and categories of play presents a key opportunity to engage with a wide-ranging, multi-gendered, digitally-savvy audience.
