Thursday, October 19, 2017
2-3 p.m. (Eastern)
Objective:
This one-hour webinar will provide Toy Association members and industry stakeholders with insight, opportunities, and prospects in the emerging BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and Sub-Saharan Africa) markets, including: geographic trends and demographic shifts affecting the BRICS markets through 2030, and how these markets’ trends and shifts will evolve the toys and games industry.
Who Should Attend:
All Toy Association members and industry stakeholders are invited to participate; recommended for manufacturers and retailers that are interested in learning about emerging toy markets and how they will impact the industry moving forward.
What You Will Learn:
BRIC markets were the main growth story of the previous decade, but over the next 10 years we expect to see increasing dynamism in high population areas like Sub-Saharan Africa and markets reaching critical levels of household income like India. China will remain a key growth driver, but Brazil and Russia will struggle against a tide of adverse demographic trends. This presentation aims to encourage industry peers to think about the future of toys and games in emerging markets by examining the key geographies for the traditional toy market going forward.
