The rise in stress and anxiety is projected to boost the growth of the fidget toys market in the future. Stress and anxiety signify a condition of mental and emotional strain or discomfort caused by pressure (stress) and ongoing worry or fear (anxiety). Factors such as heightened work demands, social pressures, and financial insecurity contribute to increasing psychological stress. Fidget toys serve to relieve stress and anxiety by channeling excess nervous energy, enhancing concentration, and offering sensory engagement, which can help diminish overall tension and foster relaxation. For example, in October 2023, the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), an organization based in Australia, reported that around 42.9% of people aged 16 to 85 have encountered a mental disorder at some point in their lives. Furthermore, 21.5% of this demographic experienced a mental disorder in the past year, with anxiety being the most common, affecting 17.2% of those aged 16 to 85. Among individuals aged 16 to 24, 38.8% reported experiencing a mental disorder in the past year. Thus, the increasing levels of stress and anxiety are propelling the growth of the fidget toy market.
