Based on the analysis, the market has been further classified as:

Based on Type

  • Games
    • Board Games
    • Card Games
  • Puzzles

Of both, Games are anticipated to garner maximum traction in the Global Games and Puzzles Market during 2023-28 due to their captivating themes & intricate designs that offer users a heightened & immersive experience compared to puzzles. The market's evolution has led to an unprecedented surge in board game varieties, granting players an extensive array of choices to engage with. This surge has expanded the horizons of board gaming enthusiasts and attracted numerous newcomers. One notable trend within board games is the emergence of cooperative gameplay, fostering connections among friends & family while simultaneously reducing screen time and enhancing well-being. Meanwhile, the trading card games segment is rapidly establishing its presence within the games and puzzles industry, traditionally dominated by sports cards for over a century. Driven by the nostalgic inclinations of Generation Z and Millennials, fantasy characters are now rivaling traditional star athletes, reshaping the Global Games and Puzzles Market landscape.

Based on Licensing

  • Non-Licensed
  • Licensed

Here, non-licensed games and puzzles hold a prominent market share as they have a broader appeal due to their lack of tethering to a particular brand or franchise. These products grant creators the freedom to exercise their creativity & originality during the design & development phases, offering a more diverse array of products & themes and catering to a wide range of interests. This intrinsic versatility is a key advantage for non-licensed games & puzzles, wherein manufacturers can explore various themes, styles, and concepts without being restrained by established brands.

On the other hand, licensed games & puzzles hold a noteworthy market share as they have a unique advantage in terms of personalization & gifting. These products can be transformed into captivating & meaningful gifts by featuring characters that hold sentimental value to the recipient. This personalized touch adds an extra layer of charm to the products, making them stand out in the market. Licensed games & puzzles are designed to tap into the existing fan base of beloved movies, TV shows, or other media properties. The inclusion of iconic characters, such as Disney's Frozen, Baby Yoda, Spiderman, Pinkfong's Baby Shark, and Friends, has led to a surge in the popularity of licensed games & puzzles, backed by people's emotional connection with these characters and the appeal of owning merchandise related to their favorite franchises, thereby contributing to market growth.

Global Games and Puzzles Market (2023-28) Regional Projection:

Geographically, the Global Games and Puzzles Market expands across:

  • North America
  • South America
  • Europe
