The STEM toys market is projected to propagate at a solid CAGR of 7.1% during the forecast period (2021-2027). Science, technology, engineering, and mathematics based/Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math (STEM/STEAM) toys are toys that are geared and inclined towards stimulating learning, education and curiosity. The toy segment is also more crucial in developing the required skills in areas, especially in STEM related professions. The core ideology of toys is oriented towards offering edutainment with the development of cognitive and mental skills. Also, STEM is one of the fastest-growing segments of the toy industry where coding, artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR) and robotic toys are enforcing the wider adoption and momentum across geographies. While they are sold exclusively through traditional retail formats and online mediums, the demand for customization as per the local curriculum and academic subjects is driving the demand in preschools, primary schools as well, thereby enhancing the overall growth.

Segmental Outlook  

The STEM toys market is segmented based on age group, category, and distribution channel. Based on the age group, the STEM toys market is segmented into 0-3 years, 3-8 years, 8-12 years, 12+ years. On the basis of category, the market is segmented into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. On the basis of distribution channel, the market is fragmented into online and offline. Engineering toys, which are used among teens for strategic and building skill development, is expected to grow at one of the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. This can be more prominent in the APAC and Latin America regions owing to the pre-existing culture of playing more building games in countries such as India, Brazil, and Mexico. The rise in the number of theme-based construction kits is driving the demand in western countries. The segment was also one of the highly demanded toys segment during the 2020 pandemic.

Demand for Robotic Toys

Robotics is an interesting and ever engaging field where there is high scope for longevity among children. Robots are consistently on the rise and are on the way to conquer the world of toys. The educational toy robots are more similar to the real robots, which are intended to teach the programming principles and to make the technology more familiar. Further, there are several advantages of robotic toys such as creativity skills through coding and programming, strategically solving a problem, among others, thereby enhancing its adoption among consumers.

Regional Outlook 

The global STEM toys market is further segmented based on geography including North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Rest of the World. The global STEM toys market is diversified, with a significant number of growing markets and potential markets still underpenetrated. Despite the dominance of the North American region, there are countries with a high scope for expansion in the region to drive the market further. Similarly, the major toys market such as China, Japan, and other major countries in Europe, such as the UK and France, can be targeted for new product launches and robotic toys. While the sudden COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the market to a certain extent, product launches and adapting to the dynamic behavior of consumers can help vendors to grow in the long run. 

In terms of revenue, North America led the market share in the STEM toys market in 2020. The region has historically represented a prominent level of enthusiasm toward toys and games, whereas the landscape for learning toys is rising. The toys market in North America is expected to witness traction and high demand, owing to the impact of COVID-19 post-2020. Moreover, an increase in annual savings of end-users and their enhanced spending sentiments due to the economic recovery have increased the demand for sophisticated and high-end toys in US households.
