It is no surprise that Indian toy industry is accelerating thanks to greater internet penetration, sizeable young population and rise in disposable income levels.

In India, the toy market is dominated by unbranded Chinese products with 90% of the market being unorganised. These Chinese toys do not comply with channel, quality or safety norms and thus turn out to be much cheaper for the Indian population.
The market is further projected to cross US$ 2.9 Billion by 2023, at a CAGR of 13.9% during 2018-2023.
