Saudi Arabia Toy Market to Grow with a CAGR of 12.8% through 2030
The
Saudi toy market is growing due to rising disposable income, urbanization, and
e-commerce expansion. Demand for educational, licensed, and premium toys is
increasing.
According to
TechSci Research report, “Saudi Arabia Toy Market – By Region, Competition
Forecast & Opportunities, 2030F”, Saudi Arabia Toy Market was valued at
USD 435.16 Million in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 896.40 Million by 2030
with a CAGR of 12.8% during the forecast period. The Saudi Arabia toy market is
experiencing robust growth, fueled by a combination of demographic, economic,
and cultural factors. With nearly one-third of the population under 15 years
old, the country’s young demographic creates a natural demand for toys, further
amplified by rising disposable incomes and a growing middle class. Government
initiatives under Vision 2030, particularly those promoting entertainment and
family-centric leisure, have spurred investments in theme parks, family
entertainment centers, and retail expansions, indirectly boosting toy sales.
Additionally, the increasing emphasis on early childhood development has led
parents to prioritize educational and skill-building toys, driving demand for
STEM-based and interactive play products.
However, the
market also faces challenges, including stringent regulatory standards for toy
safety and a reliance on imports, which can lead to supply chain disruptions
and higher costs. The dominance of international brands makes it difficult for
local manufacturers to compete, though government incentives for local
production are beginning to shift this dynamic. Another hurdle is the rapid
shift in consumer preferences, with children increasingly drawn to digital
entertainment, forcing traditional toy makers to innovate with tech-integrated
and hybrid physical-digital play solutions. Despite these challenges, the
market’s potential remains strong, supported by e-commerce growth,
urbanization, and a cultural tradition of gifting toys during festivals. As Saudi
families continue to prioritize quality and educational value in toys, the
market is poised for sustained expansion, with innovation and localization
being key to long-term success.

The Saudi Arabia
Toy market is segmented into product type, gender, distribution channels, and
region.
Based
on distribution channel, hypermarkets/supermarkets (e.g., Carrefour, Panda) are
the leading sales channel due to convenience and impulse purchases during
routine shopping. However, online retail (Noon, Amazon Saudi) is the
fastest-growing segment, fueled by e-commerce expansion, competitive pricing,
and doorstep delivery. Specialty toy stores (Toys "R" Us) attract
premium buyers with curated selections, while departmental stores (Jarir,
Centrepoint) combine toys with other child products for family shoppers. The
pandemic accelerated digital adoption, making online a key future growth
driver.
The Eastern
region, home to Dammam, Khobar, and Dhahran, is the fastest-growing toy market
in Saudi Arabia, driven by its expanding economy, young population, and rising
e-commerce adoption. As the center of the oil industry, the region has a high
per capita income, leading to strong demand for premium and imported toys. The
growth of mega-malls like Al Rashid Mall and Mall of Dhahran has enhanced
retail accessibility, while digital shopping trends are accelerating due to
tech-savvy consumers. Moreover, the Eastern Province has a large expatriate
workforce, increasing demand for international toy brands. The region’s rapid
urbanization and government investments in entertainment (e.g., King Abdullah
Economic City) further contribute to its growth, making it a key focus area for
toy manufacturers and retailers. The Southern
region, including cities like Abha and Jizan, remains an emerging market with
untapped potential but faces challenges such as lower disposable income and
limited retail infrastructure. While demand for affordable and traditional toys
exists, the market is less developed compared to other regions. However,
improving economic conditions, tourism initiatives (e.g., Asir’s mountain
resorts), and e-commerce penetration are gradually boosting toy sales. The
region’s growth is expected to remain moderate but could accelerate with
increased investment in retail and entertainment sectors.
