Global Toys and Games Market To Reach $122.2 Billion by 2012 ...

San Jose, California (PRWEB) November 12, 2008

World toys and games market has been positively impacted by growing consumer awareness and exposure to media and marketing. The toy industry is marked by fluctuations, which are seasonal and trend-driven. Factors impacting the business climate in the marketplace include – economic conditions, levels of disposable incomes, and consumer demographics. The ongoing economic slowdown is expected to temporarily take the wind out of the market's sails, with consumers curtailing expenditure on leisure goods such as video games, and consoles.

Market for traditional toys and games in developed countries is witnessing lethargic growth patterns largely due to the declining birth rates, and growing disenchantment of children towards conventional toys. As a result young children are no longer the prime or in many case the sole attractive targets of the manufacturers and retailers. Youngsters, teenagers and adults are presently the prime targets. Increase in disposable incomes of the younger population is leading manufacturers to focus on this demographic cluster as a lucrative target. Continuous innovation has, over the years, resulted in the availability of numerous genres of video games. Earlier, boys were the principal audience for video games. Today the sheer variety of games available is attracting the attention of new sections of the population, who are evincing interest for these games. Women, for instance, have entered the spotlight as significant revenue generating audiences for online games, such as, puzzles, word, and trivia.

Seasonality of sales, impact of changing fashion and technological trends, influence of movies and cartoons on toys, advent of corporate advertising in the gaming world, growing popularity of mobile gaming, are some of the major factors influencing the toys and games market. Product markets likely to witness the maximum gains include – intelligent toys, licensed toys, and mobile/wireless games. Changing perception of video game console from being a standalone gaming device to a complete home entertainment system is expected to benefit the video games market in the upcoming years.

As stated in a recent report published by Global Industry Analysts Inc., United States and Europe collectively account for over 70% of the world toys and games market estimated in 2008. The European market for games/puzzles is projected to clock sales worth US$3.4 billion by the year 2015. Traditional toys and games represents a large but mature market, which is constantly frustrated by the overshadowing popularity of the relatively faster growing video games market. Increase in disposable incomes, and growth of the mobile communications industry in the developing countries are expected to offer ample opportunities for future growth. As a result, Asia-Pacific and Latin America are expected to spearhead global growth, especially in the video games market, which is forecast to wax at projected CAGRs of 10.7% and 8.4% respectively over the period 2011 through 2015. Frequent launches of new video game consoles, and lucrative opportunities in online gaming and mobile entertainment are primary factors forecast to drive sales in these markets.
