STONE SOUP
The NPD Group‘s Global Toy Market Estimates: 2011 Edition finds that worldwide toys sales in 2010 were up by close to +5% (US$83.3 billion) over 2009. While the increase was driven by strong toy sales across Asia, which increased at a rate nearly double the average (9.2%), the US market remains the largest market with sales of nearly $22 billion, followed by Japan, China, the UK and France. With the toy market continuing to be concentrated within these five countries, which together has just over 50% of global sales, the NPD Group sees growth in emerging markets, specifically the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China) showing growth of +13%. However, 2010 toy sales in Europe were down slightly, due in part to exchange rate fluctuations. Where in 2007 the European sales accounted for 32% of the global market, in 2010, they accounted for 28%.
