Additionally, BrandTrends will share top-level findings on opportunities, obstacles, and key success factors for growth in the U.S. toy market in 2025. To help toy companies understand how best to position their product lines, the hour-long session will explore children’s weekly routines and playing habits, time spent watching TV and streaming services, their relationships with digital apps, virtual reality and the metaverse, kids’ reading habits, pocket money spend, and more. It will also review data on parent shopping habits.
