Looking forward, the analyst expects the market to reach US$ 29.7 Billion by 2028, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 11.2% during 2023-2028. The wide availability through various distribution channels, increasing mental diseases, and rising usage for therapy treatment represent some of the key factors driving the market.

Board games comprise tabletop, card and dice, collectible, miniature, and role-playing games (RPG). They are convenient, inexpensive, and widely available in different sizes, shapes, and colors, and they encourage healthy competition and sportsmanship among children. They develop a strong sense of individuality and improve creativity, self-confidence, or self-esteem. They increase brain functioning by stimulating brain areas that are responsible for memory formation and complex thought processes. They also enhance various cognitive skills, such as decision-making, problem-solving, logic and reasoning, critical thinking, communication, and emotional intelligence (EI). They assist in building cooperation among individuals, strengthening relationships, and engaging teamwork. They aid in reducing stress and anxiety and improving conscious and unconscious mind functions. Besides this, they expand vocabulary, boost language skills, and enhance the focus and concentration power of children. They also decrease screen time, increase engagement with family and friends, and enhance memory. As they benefit in lowering blood pressure and increasing patience levels, the demand for board games is rising around the world.

In addition, the increasing demand for board games as a therapy treatment for children with decreased motor skills, patients with mental or physical disabilities, and people recovering from accidents is offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors.
