Germany leads the European Toys and Games sector with 35.65% share of employees, showing significant year-on-year growth at 6.39%. The Czech Republic and Poland follow with 12.29% and 8.11%, respectively, both with positive growth. Hungary and Bulgaria also demonstrate healthy employee shares and positive trends. However, some key markets like Spain, Austria, and Italy experienced declines, with Italy facing the steepest drop at -5.2%.
