Indian Toy Industry Soars: Export Surge.!
These initiatives have compelled major industry players like Hasbro, Mattel, and Spin master to increase their reliance on Indian-made toys. Consequently, prominent manufacturers such as Dream Plast, Microplastic, and Incas have shifted their focus from china to india, contributing to the expansion of the indian toy market.
Prior to the BIS regulation, India's toy sector was heavily reliant on imports from china, accounting for over 80% of the market. However, with the implementation of stringent standards and policies, more than 60% of India's toy production is now geared towards meeting export demands. This growth trajectory spans across 33 categories, with increasing demand observed from regions including europe and America.
Several noteworthy facts underscore the industry's trajectory. In 2023, the data-size of India's toy industry stood at $1.7 billion, with projections indicating a surge to $4.4 billion by 2032. Additionally, the ban on the sale of non-BIS certified toys since january 1, 2021, and the substantial increase in custom duties on toy imports in march 2023 have further bolstered the domestic toy manufacturing ecosystem. These developments highlight India's ascension as a significant player in the global toy market, driven by proactive policy interventions and a robust manufacturing landscape.
