Indian toy sector reached a value of $1.23 Billion in 2020 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 12.2% for the next 5 years. IMARC Report on Toy Industry
Right now, it is just 0.5% of the Global Market. Nearly 70-75% of toys in India are imported from China. But, now the Indian Government is focused on Promoting toy manufacturing in India. They have allowed 100% FDI in toy Manufacturing. A mega 400 acre Toy cluster is being build in Karnataka for manufacturing.
Custom Duty on toys was increased to 60% in beginning of 2020.
But, the most important development which happened last year is the “Ban” on import of Toys.
The stringent norms for import introduced last year for import of toys means that there has been virtually no import of Toys from China in 2021.
Right now, almost 90% of the market is unorganized and i believe there is a huge opportunity in this sector both for Domestic consumption and export. I have already heard about 6-7 importers
planning to put their own factory in India.
But i am unable to find any listed player from the industry. What can be a good proxy to the toy manufacturing industry?
