Toys that are connected to the internet and use Bluetooth or WiFi
to process functions are known as connected toys. A speaker,
microphone, and app to process the data are typically included. In
response to children’s increasing access to screens, connected
toys are changing traditional objects to include more of the
appointment features that digital screens offer.
However, by taking advantage of this development, linked toys raise
more concerns among parents and educators about children’s use of
reflexive digital technologies. With the help of connected toys,
families and parents may actively participate in and closely
monitor their children’s development, generating data that will
help parents better understand the events that their kids are
involved in and create connections between play and parent-child
discussions.
An increase in the number of parents and kids using the internet,
which successfully combines education and entertainment while
allowing parents to keep an eye on their children, is what drives
market expansion. In addition, the market for connected toys is
being driven by the growing popularity of technology, science,
math, and engineering toys.
However, the market for linked toys is constrained by a lack of
safety and security. On the other hand, increasing government
restrictions to regulate security breaches and R&D investment
in toys and robots offers an opportunity to push the market for
connected toys.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The worldwide coronavirus outbreak had a significant negative
impact on the world’s economy. Lockdowns have been imposed in
numerous countries all over the world in an effort to halt the
coronavirus’s transmission and spread. This had a significant
negative impact on the building toy industry’s distribution
networks, commerce, and growth. Additionally, the sale of toys on
various e-commerce websites has surged since the COVID-19 pandemic,
which could increase the need for more connected toys over the
projection period.
Market Growth Factor
Rising Working Women and Less Time to Take Care of Children Rising
Need for Tracking Toy Devices
Humans are now more connected than ever due to the Internet of
Things. Today smartphones provide unlimited access to practically
everything, including GPS, banking, social networking, everyday
phone, and text communication, online shopping, and more. In the
last ten years, technology has advanced beyond the screens. Most
homes, automobiles, and children’s toys all contain it. IoT
devices have significant advantages for parents and careers.
Parents Are More Concerned with The Overall Development of Their
Children
Parents are looking for ways to get their kids interested in new
physical activities because they are worried that they may get
addicted to computers TV and cell phones. Kids may exercise their
minds while also improving their creativity and social skills with
the help of connected toys. Children can purchase modern connected
toys from vendors, including IoT enabled car toys. Due to
parents’ increased focus on instilling in their children useful
problem-solving and life skills, the market for technology enabled
toys has grown.
Market Restraining Factor
Concerns about privacy are being raised by connected toys.
More and more kids’ toys are being sold with internet
connectivity as a crucial component. The internet connection can be
established with a wire that attaches to a computer or router, but
it is more likely to be established using a wi-fi-enabled app on a
smartphone or tablet. Since they have the ability to collect and
handle personal data through features like cameras and microphones,
connected toys and devices give rise to particular security
concerns.
Application Outlook
Based on application, the connected toys market is segmented into
education, entertainment and other applications. The education
segment dominated the connected toys market with maximum revenue
share in 2021. Children’s sensory-motor skill development is
correlated with the use of educational toys. Young children’s
perception of sight is enhanced by bright, colorful lighting and
music. This will help kids develop stronger personalities and
communication skills.
Age Group Outlook
On the basis of age group, the connected toys market is fragmented
into 1- 5 years, 6-8 years, 9-12 years and teenagers (13-19 years).
In 2021, the 9-12 years segment covered a significant revenue share
in the connected toys market. Kids between the ages of 9 and 12
enjoy playing games, using tablets, playing musical instruments,
and listening to music. Popular STEM-related games and toys let
kids construct robots using complex problem-solving techniques.
Technology Outlook
On the basis of technology, the connected toys market is divided
into Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and other technologies. In 2021, the Wi-Fi
segment recorded the highest revenue share in the connected toys
market. These interactive toys use wireless connections to online
databases to recognize sounds and images, as well as to recognize
and respond to children’s questions, instructions, and
requests.
Interfacing Device Outlook
By interfacing device, the connected toys market is divided into
smartphone/tablet, and PC/laptop. In 2021, the smartphone/tablets
segment garnered a significant revenue share in the connected toys
market. As children work through the tutorials & learn
independently, the tablet aims to support the development of
fundamental skills in mathematics, science, reading,
problem-solving, music, logic, and creativity.
Distribution Channel Outlook
Based on distribution channel, the connected toys market is
classified into online, and offline. In 2021, the offline segment
witnessed the highest revenue share in the connected toys market.
Toy vendors can communicate with their customers in a variety of
ways through the offline distribution channel for linked toys. One
of the most popular ways for suppliers of connected toys to get in
touch with regional distributors and retailers is by taking part in
trade exhibitions.

North America, Europe, Asia
Pacific and LAMEA. The North
America region led the connected toys market with the
maximum revenue share in 2021. The use of linked toys has grown
