Video games, electronics, and apps make up a combined 22 percent of kids’ licensed product dollar sales in the U.S.* – on par with the volume represented by toys, which is the number one licensed industry at most retailers, according to the U.S. Kids License Report from global information company The NPD Group.
Toys capture the largest share of licensed sales among younger kids, representing over one-quarter of dollar sales for kids ages 2-5; however, this percentage shifts as video games, electronics, and apps gain more prominence as they get older. Video games alone garner 27 percent of sales among boys ages 10-14 (versus 14 percent for toys), and share also increases substantially among girls as they get older.
