COVID-19 Impacts:

As schools are shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic period, children are largely spending their time in households. This will increase the demand for large-sized play figurines that entertain children for a longer time. Additionally, the popularity of educational and construction activity-related games will grow among kids during the pandemic period. Such a sharp rise in sales is attributed to the dolls' strong demand and the construction of play-sets by schoolchildren across the country. Nowadays, individuals are forced to think more about their personal health and well-being to fight the corona-virus and maintain immunity. This has skyrocketed the consumer demand for outdoor & fitness-related figurines. Children are more likely to get infected by the corona-virus due to the greater outdoor exposure of their parents or guardians during the physical shopping of such items compared to staying indoors. Therefore, parents are cautious about shopping for products from physical stores during the pandemic. This has hampered the product revenues from the physical stores. Additionally, overall supply chain disruption during the pandemic is likely to pose challenges to retailers re-stocking the latest products at their outlets.
