The toys and hobby goods market in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has witnessed steady growth during the period of 2025-2031, driven by factors such as a growing population of young children, increased disposable income, and the cultural significance of toys and recreational activities in the country. Toys and hobby goods encompass a wide range of products, including traditional toys, educational toys, video games, arts and crafts, and hobby items. The UAE emphasis on family-oriented leisure activities and the popularity of themed entertainment zones have been key drivers for the demand for toys and hobby goods in the country. Additionally, the market`s expansion is influenced by the growing adoption of e-commerce platforms, offering a convenient way for consumers to purchase toys and hobby goods.
Several factors drive the demand for toys and hobby goods in the UAE. Firstly, the country`s high birth rate and the presence of a significant young population create a constant demand for toys and recreational products.
