In China's consumer market of 2025, the trendy toy sector is rewriting the business landscape with overwhelming momentum – Pop Mart has seen a skyrocketing revenue, Miniso has set new overseas records with its co-branded dolls, concept stocks related to "goods/merchandise" have collectively hit the daily limit in the secondary market, and Nezha 2 has ranked among the world's top animated films with a box office of 10 billion yuan... This series of impressive data not only confirms the explosive growth of the trendy toy economy but also reveals that after young groups have become the main consumers, emotional needs centered on "self-pleasure" are reshaping the industrial ecology. The "grass-planting" mechanism on social platforms has accelerated this process, turning trendy toys from favorites of niche circles into new darlings of the mass market. Trendy toys are evolving from "subcultural interest" to "mainstream asset".
According to the latest "Survey Data on the Development Status and User Behavior of China's Trendy Toy Industry in 2025" released by iiMedia Research, a globally leading third-party data mining and analysis institution for the new economy industry, the scale of China's pan-2D users will reach 503 million in 2024, indicating that user growth has entered the era of stock. However, the market size of the "millet economy" has soared by 40.63% from 2023 to 168.9 billion yuan in 2024, indicating that the development trend of the collectible toy industry is shifting from relying on user scale expansion to deeply exploring the value of core users. Peripheral derivatives have become the core engine driving the growth of the industry. It marks that the industry has entered a mature stage dominated by IP monetization and emotional consumption.
In China's trendy toy market, consumers' purchasing motives and decision-making factors are showing increasingly mature and differentiated characteristics. Data shows that as high as 40.83% of consumers consider "having appreciation potential and being able to make profits by reselling in the second-hand market" as the main reason for purchasing trendy toys. This reflects that the attributes of collection and investment have become important forces driving consumption, and also indicates that trendy toys are gradually shifting from simple consumer goods to asset classes with financial attributes. Meanwhile, among the top priorities for consumers when making purchases in 2025, "style and design" topped the list with a 38.60% share, highlighting consumers' strong pursuit of the uniqueness of product appearance, artistic value and creative expression.
Analysts from iiMedia Research believe that from Pop Mart's IP matrix to Miniso's affordable trendy toys, from the collection boom of "guzi" (merchandise) to the hot sales of derivatives driven by Nezha 2, every growth point in the trendy toy industry is closely linked to "emotional resonance" and "value recognition". China's trendy toy industry will continue to deepen in the direction of product refinement, assetization and emotionalization in the future. IP operation and cross-border collaboration will become the core of value growth, and the integration of digital trendy toys and physical collections will further expand the industry's boundaries. As consumers become more rational, brands that can simultaneously meet aesthetic expectations and collection potential will gain advantages in the competition.
