The number of enterprises in the retail sale of games and toys in specialized stores in Germany shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. In 2024, the number stands at 2.2 thousand, showing a downward trend each subsequent year, with a projected figure of 1.89 thousand in 2028. The year-on-year variation reveals a consistent decrease, indicating a contraction in the sector. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period underscores this negative growth rate, suggesting industry consolidation or market challenges.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of e-commerce growth, changing consumer preferences towards digital gaming, and potential market consolidation that might influence the number of specialized retail enterprises further. These factors could lead to further declines unless counterbalancing forces emerge.
