COVID-19 Impact Analysis

The emergence of COVID-19 has brought the entire world to a halt. Governments all across the world were obliged to implement lockdowns as a result of the outbreak. The world went under an industrial shutdown as a result of the lockdown, which demolished the whole supply chain. Moreover, the lockdown enforced by the government has increased work-from-home culture and forced the closure of schools and other educational institutions as a precaution in order to regulate the containment of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has a negative impact on the smart toy business. Manufacturers were forced to restrict production as a result of the pandemic's strict regulations, such as complete or partial lockdown. Further, disruptions in the supply chain of several non-essential commodities have hampered the growth of the smart toy business.

Provides intellectual & cognitive advantages to children

To combat childhood obesity and other health issues, parents around the world are encouraging their children to participate in outdoor and athletic activities. In addition to outdoor and sports toys, construction toys are becoming increasingly popular as they provide intellectual and cognitive benefits to children of various ages. Construction toys, which aid in the development of inventive and spatial skills in children, are well-known among educators and parents. As a result, demand for construction toys are increasing.

Moreover, the rising utilization of construction toys in order to improve children's learning abilities is a crucial element driving up demand for smart toys in the market.

The sense of sight, for example, can be improved by playing with bright toys of varied hues. Toys that make diverse noises, on the other hand, may aid in improving hearing. Children observe the materials, colors, and sounds of the educational toys while playing with them. This aids children in communicating their feelings to others. As a result, children are able to grow as individuals and enhance their communication abilities. Moreover, toys aid in the development of a child's thinking.

Marketing Restraining Factor:

Children enjoy spending their free time playing with toys. Kids can relieve tension and boredom by playing with a variety of toys and games. However, excessive time spent on games and toys, on the other hand, may obstruct their academics and reduce their interest in them. This can also operate as a barrier between children's life skills, social relationships, mental health, and behavior. Moreover, children in this modern world like to play with electronic gadgets and smart toys. Children are spending more time playing with these toys, which, in long term, can limit their thinking capacity due to the lack of social exposure.
