Overview:

The global connected toys market is expected to reach US$ 69.16 billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 14.1% from 2018 to 2026. The dramatic increase in the number of internet-connected devices, including the Internet of Things (IoT), has created numerous benefits for consumers across the globe. Wearable technologies, smart thermostats, and connected home security systems are just a few examples. Similarly, in the recent past, children’s toys have evolved from simply stuffed bears to connected toys.

Connected toys, also known as smart toys, come in all shapes and sizes, but all have some degree of connectivity that allows children to interact with the toy through a smart device. Children’s toys are already computerized and connected to the internet and will continue to evolve in the near future as technology advances. An increase in the number of internet users coupled with the rising popularity of various hand-held devices like smartphones and tablets are driving awareness and growth in the connected toys market worldwide.

Connected toys are everywhere these days and are becoming increasingly popular as they offer a varied range of opportunities and features for interactive play and education. On the other hand, when a toy shifts from being a doll or an action figure to being a child’s interactive friend with the capability to accumulate personal data and offer external information, it becomes necessary to ensure that parents take security and privacy safeguards. Many connected toys have been found to lack sufficient security measures. As a result, the lack of safety and security of these toys is expected to hinder the growth of the connected toys market during the forecast period from 2018 to 2026.

Competitive Insights

Connected toy manufacturers are adopting strategies like partnerships and new product development to cater to the needs of their customers and gain a competitive edge over other players. For instance, in May 2018, Lego launched a new line of connected toys known as “Powered Up” and also released its first set in the series, the Batmobile, which gets controlled by pre-built remote interfaces on the companion Powered Up iOS and Android app. The Powered Up line consists of multiple products that differ in complexity instead of one set that can be used to build multiple things. Some of the sets might be battery-powered only, while others can be app-controlled or remotely controlled.

The major players in the global connected toys market include Sphero, Hasbro, Sony Corporation, KidsII Inc., Playmobil, Fisher-Price, Inc., The Lego Group, Mattel Inc., K’NEX Industries Inc., LeapFrog Enterprises, Inc., Tomy Company, Ltd., and Jakks Pacific, Inc., among others.
