Learning and Education Toys Market Outlook 2025-2034: Market Share, and Growth Analysis

The Learning and Education Toys Market is valued at USD 54.8 billion in 2025 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.7% to reach USD 106.6 billion by 2034.

The learning and education toys market focuses on products designed to stimulate cognitive, motor, linguistic, and social development in children. These toys span a wide range - from basic shape sorters and alphabet blocks to advanced STEM kits and interactive coding robots. Parents, educators, and pediatricians increasingly view educational toys as essential tools for early childhood development, especially in an era where screen time and digital distractions are prevalent. As educational standards rise and learning becomes more personalized, demand for toys that combine fun with foundational learning continues to grow. This market also benefits from gifting culture, homeschooling trends, and innovation in child-friendly technology.

The market witnessed a shift toward STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) toys, with brands launching kits that encourage coding, circuitry, and creative thinking. Companies like LEGO, Mattel, and Osmo expanded their smart toy offerings with app-connected experiences and augmented reality (AR) integration. Subscription-based toy kits and personalized learning boxes gained traction among millennial parents. Retailers embraced eco-friendly packaging and non-toxic materials, aligning with growing sustainability awareness. Meanwhile, educational institutions and nurseries increased procurement of tactile learning sets as part of early learning curriculum upgrades post-COVID, especially in North America and Europe.

The market will evolve with a greater emphasis on inclusivity, emotional intelligence, and personalized learning experiences. AI-enabled toys that adapt to a child's learning pace and preferences will enter mainstream retail. Toys that promote social-emotional learning (SEL) will gain popularity, supported by rising awareness of mental health in early development. Manufacturers will invest in materials innovation to create biodegradable, safe, and sensory-friendly toys. As emerging markets expand middle-class consumer bases, affordable and locally-relevant educational toys will see rapid growth. The integration of offline and online learning tools will redefine how play supports formal and informal education globally.
