COVID-19 IMPACT

"Pandemic Decreased the Market Demand due to Disruptions in Supply Chain"

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the developmental toys market experiencing higher-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden rise in CAGR is attributable to the market's growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels once the pandemic is over.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the developmental toys market share. Many toy stores were forced to close temporarily during the pandemic, which reduced the availability of developmental toys to consumers. This was especially true for brick-and-mortar stores, as online retailers were able to stay open. The pandemic also disrupted the global supply chain for developmental toys, which made it difficult for toy companies to get the materials they need to produce toys. This led to shortages of some toys and higher prices for others. The pandemic also led to a shift in consumer preferences. Some parents were more reluctant to spend money on toys, as they were worried about their financial situation. Others were more likely to buy developmental toys that could be used at home, such as educational developmental toys and puzzles.
