Urban and rural differences

Due to the serious division of the Indian class, the boundaries of urban and rural areas are very obvious. India has 79 major cities, accounting for 34% of the total area, accounting for 40% of the total population, a total of 99 million households, GDP accounted for 85% of the country.

Therefore, the Indian toy market is also bounded by urban and rural areas, divided into two parts. The city toy retail market is valued at Rs. 27.5 billion (about 2.8 Milliarden Yuan), mainly relying on 4,500 retail stores, accounting for about 85% of all urban toy retail sales, and the remaining 15% for online sales.

The report from the patent, trademark, copyright, trade secrets, implementation and international treaties and other aspects of evaluation, out of 35 points, India only 8.75 points, ranking third. The last two were Venezuela (6.88) and Pakistan (8.37) respectively. In contrast, the US score 32.62, the British score 32.39, the gap is huge.

Funskool come out on top

From the chart we can see that the Indian toy market in the rural areas is relatively fragmented, and in the city’s high-end market, was Funskool this large dealer accounted for the bulk. It has acquired exclusive rights such as Warner Bros., Lego, Hasbro, Dorothy, Jump Frog, Sibo, Wrath Puzzle, Cologne, Aixi Mo, Tu Erle and many other multinational brands.

Toy Rush City strong presence

John Baby, who is the CEO of India’s highest toy market, is optimistic about its long-term market potential, but he also points out: “The biggest challenge for the Indian toy market is that consumer awareness is not strong, but now we are pleased Found that brand awareness has been sprouting in some parents.

But for now, the Indian market capacity is still small, department stores in the toy shelf area is also very small, because the rent is high, the return and expenditure is not proportional. Gleichzeitig, consumers are still very sensitive to the price (more accurately, is sensitive to the value of the product), so unknown brands to sell high prices in India, extremely difficult. Big Bazar is India’s largest supermarket chain, with more than 200 stores nationwide, but the flagship product is a self-owned non-branded imports and low-priced products. And India is currently the only large toy franchise stores only Hamrell, small brands want to keep the shelf space is not easy. In addition to Funskool and other companies such as Mattel, the rest are small retailers, only a small part of the strength of the product to the whole of India to promote. Therefore, India’s toy retail business or small self-employed. Electric business in India developed very fast, but currently only the entire toy market, about 12% Zu 15% of the share.

The good news is that the current Indian toy market is growing. To be sure, in the next decade, the Indian toy market capacity will be double-digit annual growth rate. This potential has attracted the international toy industry. India now has a total of 30 Hamlet toy store, and toy R Us also announced in the next 10 years to open 65 stores in India. It can be said that India is attracting the eyes of the world toy industry.
