Starting from 263.7 million euros in 2013, the sector saw significant yearly growth by 2014 with a value of 327.3 million euros. Although there was a notable drop in 2016, peaking again in 2018, the investments decreased to 212.1 million euros in 2019. Since then, a steady uptrend resumed, reaching 322.1 million euros by 2023.

Key future trends to watch:
- Emerging technologies and the integration of digital components in traditional toys.
