Hobby & Toy Stores in Canada

Hobby and toy stores sell a variety of discretionary goods, making the health of the economy vital to sales, along with the amount of free time consumers have on hand. Over the past five years, hobby and toy stores benefited from a rise in disposable income, resulting in greater consumer spending on discretionary goods. While the pandemic introduced great uncertainty, many consumers found themselves with heaps of free time, along with restless children stuck inside. As a result, sales boomed, especially for shops with prominent e-commerce platforms. Thus, revenue has been growing at a CAGR of 4.6% over the past five years and is expected to reach $8.2 billion in 2023, when revenue will rise an estimated 1.5%.

The Hobby and Toy Stores industry in Canada sells a broad range of toy and hobby goods, such as traditional dolls and toys, electronic toys (including video and electronic games), board games and hobby kits.
