The global board games market, USD değerinde 18.93 milyar 2022, USD'ye ulaşması bekleniyor 39.99 milyar tarafından 2028, growing at a CAGR of 13.27% tahmin dönemi boyunca. Despite facing fierce competition from digital forms of entertainment, the board games market has remained resilient and continued to thrive. In recent years, the market has expanded into previously untapped regions and countries. This growth can be attributed to various factors, including the rise of board game conventions, gaming cafes, the influence of nerd culture, and increased spending by millennials driven by nostalgia.

Entertainment value is a key driver for the market, and continuous innovation is crucial for sustained success in the industry. In the past five years, there has been a significant increase in consumers’ willingness to explore different board game products. Innovation plays a vital role in this industry, which operates on narrow profit margins. Vendors have embraced technology, incorporating digital elements into their games to enhance the gaming experience. They are also introducing new themes and mechanics to create unique and engaging gameplay. For example, Wingspan features birds and their habitats, while Gloomhaven combines elements of role-playing games and tactical combat.

One significant challenge faced by the global board games market is the impact of global trade wars and tariffs imposed across borders. Factors such as restricted access to credit, job losses, bankruptcies, low consumer confidence, and other macroeconomic conditions can significantly affect the demand for board games. Changes in trade relations between countries, such as those involving the U.S., Çin, or the EU (including the Brexit outcome), can have a profound impact on major vendors such as Hasbro and Mattel, affecting their financial status.

Political trade tensions around the world are particularly concerning for certain manufacturing industries. For example, the trade war between the U.S. and China, two major players in the board games market, creates uncertainty and tension among printers worldwide that have direct or indirect trade relations with these countries. There is a potential risk of further escalation and retaliatory actions between the two nations.

Compared to markets such as mobile gadgets and video games, product development in the board games industry requires relatively less investment.
