For a long period in the past, Chinese brands were under the relentless pressure of foreign competitors, with their brand influence and product quality failing to win widespread recognition among domestic consumers. However, as China has emerged in recent years as the world’s second-largest economy, domestic companies have placed increasing emphasis on innovation, steadily ramping up their R&D investments. As a result, remarkable progress has been made across various industries, giving rise to a wave of homegrown “new forces”—including the children’s toy sector, which is often hailed as a perennial success story.
According to survey data jointly released by the China Toy & Juvenile Products Association and GfK China, in 2017, China’s toy market accounted for 13% of the global market, with a total value of RMB 60.7 billion. Additionally, based on projections from the CIC Industry Research Center, China’s toy market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of approximately 9.16% from 2018 to 2022, reaching a market size of RMB 93.7 billion by 2022.

China’s toy market has demonstrated very encouraging performance, with vast room for growth and a growth rate far exceeding the global average of 2%–4%. At the same time, it is important to recognize that, despite its size, the domestic toy market has long been dominated by international brands, leaving domestic brands with a relatively small market share. This situation stems primarily from two factors: first, in the past, Chinese toy brands lacked robust proprietary technologies and meaningful value‑addition, resulting in insufficient core competitiveness; second, they have fallen short of fostering a culture of originality and have not invested adequately in innovation.
Encouragingly, as original‑creation capabilities and awareness continue to grow, a new wave of players—led by brands like Recur Toys—has emerged in China’s toy industry, elevating the image of domestic brands through richer storytelling and high‑quality products that resonate deeply with consumers.

Across the country, it has partnered with numerous cultural‑creative brands, animal‑themed museums, and chain toy retailers to host a series of educational animal‑exploration tours.

In-house manufacturing ensures comprehensive product quality.
For any brand, products are the lifeblood of its business—and this holds true in the toy industry as well. Only by establishing a comprehensive system that integrates independent R&D, supply chain management, manufacturing, quality control, and cost optimization can a company consistently deliver high‑quality products to its customers and consumers.
In these areas, Recur once again stands at the forefront of China’s toy industry. To deliver superior toys to children worldwide and ensure uncompromising product quality, Recur has built its own manufacturing facilities, established robust R&D and supply-chain systems, recruited top-tier talent, and invested in state-of-the-art global equipment. By assembling an efficient, stable production team, the company exercises rigorous quality control from the very source. Its products have obtained EU CE certification, U.S. ASTM certification, and China’s 3C certification, fully supporting their expansion into broader domestic and international markets.
After Armstrong stepped onto the moon, he famously said, “That’s one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.” Recur Toys has been diligently cultivating its business and consistently delivering strong growth, which also helps enhance the image of domestic toy brands in the eyes of consumers. It can be said that every step forward taken by Recur Toys represents a significant stride in the advancement of China’s toy industry.
