The Insights Family – a global leader in kids, parents, and family research has launched their very first Toys & Games Report UK.

The new report, set to be released each quarter, looks at the attitudes, behaviours and consumption preferences of kids aged 3-5, 6-9 and 10-12, highlighting key changes and year-to-year trends.

Sarah Riding, Research & Trends director at The Insights Family comments “It’s been an interesting quarter, with significant changes as the world returns to some form of normality. The Toys & Games Report shows a strong trend towards the popularity of traditional and well-known toys, as well as a growing interest in creative toys. In fact, year-on-year, brands like Barbie, Minecraft and NERF toys have all experienced +30% growth as kids’ favourite toys.”

Along with detailed data on kids’ toy preferences, expenditure, influence, leisure and lifestyles, brands can learn about the top licensing categories and toy-related purchases from TV, video games, film, and Youtubers. The new report also includes a section on ‘Looking Forward’ which covers ‘What is the next big thing?’ and ‘What new toys would you like to own?’.
