Global Action Figures Market is valued at approximately USD 7.62 billion in 2021 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 8.6% over the forecast period 2022-2029. An action figure is a poseable character model figure that is generally created of plastic and is based on characters from fictitious or historical movies, comic books, video games, or television shows. Factors such as the growing popularity of numerous cartoon programs and action films, the rising number of children under 15 years, coupled with the increasing number of strategic initiatives for the key market players are driving market demand across the globe. As per the United Nations Population Division (2022), approximately 2 billion children under the age of 15 were present in 2021, which is up from 0.87 billion in 1950.
In addition, increasing disposable income of the population is further acting as a catalyzing factor for the growth of the global market. According to The World Bank, in the United States, the GDP per capita was estimated to account for USD 50,066 in 2011. Also, it is constantly growing and reached USD 69, 287.5 by 2021. Likewise, The World Bank reported that, in Mexico, the GDP per capita was estimated to account for USD 8,774.5 in 2016. Also, it is constantly growing and reached USD 9,926.4 by the year 2021.

Moreover, the rising introduction of innovative products, as well as the increasing availability of products on various e-commerce platforms are presenting various lucrative opportunities over the forecasting years. However, the high adoption of video games among children is challenging the market growth throughout the forecast period of 2022-2029.
