Faster 2017 growth due to strong video games sales

Toys and games recorded a solid performance throughout 2017 in the UK. Compared to the previous year, toys and games current value sales grew at a faster rate thanks to the strong performance of video games.

LOL Surprise! dolls and Nintendo Switch are the winners in toys and games

In traditional toys and games, the biggest success story of 2017 was LOL Surprise! – small dolls encased in a plastic ball and wrapped in multiple layers of paper. Manufactured by MGA Entertainment Inc, these collectibles were so popular among UK children that they sold out at many retailers during 2017.

Hasbro and Microsoft hold the leading positions

Hasbro UK Ltd was the leading company in traditional toys and games throughout 2017. This can be attributed to its wide portfolio of recognised and popular brands and licences such as Star Wars, Disney Princess, Monopoly, and Trivial Pursuit.

Internet retailing continues to grow

Internet retailing continued to gain value share from other distribution channels in the UK in 2017. Within traditional toys and games, retail value sales within traditional toys and games stores declined during the year, notably impacted by the financial difficulties of Toys “R” Us.

Positive value growth outlook

Value sales of toys and games are expected to grow over the forecast period at constant 2017 prices. However, the situation varies considerably from one category to another.
