Growing Popularity of Educational Toys and STEM Products
In the Philippines, the demand for educational toys and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) products is rapidly increasing. This trend is driven by the rising awareness among parents regarding the importance of early childhood education and skill development. Educational toys, including building sets, puzzles, and interactive learning devices, are seen as tools to enhance cognitive, motor, and problem-solving skills. As a result, Filipino parents are increasingly investing in products that offer both entertainment and educational value. Additionally, the government’s push for improving the country’s educational standards is influencing this demand. Retailers and brands are responding by expanding their portfolios to include STEM-related toys, which are marketed as fostering creativity and critical thinking. The expanding middle-class population and higher disposable incomes are also contributing to the rise of premium educational toys, positioning them as a lucrative segment in the toys and games market. For instance, as per industry reports, the government of Philippines has set the robust aim to transform the nation principally into a middle-class society by the year 2040.
Rise of Digital and Interactive Toys
Digital and interactive toys are becoming increasingly popular in the Philippine toys and games market, particularly among tech-savvy parents and children. These products blend traditional play with digital technology, offering engaging experiences through mobile apps, augmented reality (AR), or voice-controlled functions. The integration of technology in toys appeals to modern Filipino families who are seeking innovative play experiences that provide both entertainment and learning opportunities. Interactive toys such as robotic toys, programmable kits, and smart plush animals that respond to voice commands or movement are seeing significant demand. For instance, in July 2024, Tamashii Nations, a major action figure brand with robust presence in Philippines, announced the pre-order initiation of its robot toy figure Voltes V: Legacy, with a price of around P4,230. The product is set to launch in February 2025. Moreover, this trend is fueled by the growing penetration of smartphones and the internet, which has made digital play more accessible. Moreover, as the Philippines continues to improve its digital infrastructure, the potential for digital and interactive toys to expand further is high, positioning them as a future growth driver in the overall toys and games market.
