The Trends 2027

Beyond Limits

Play is more than just a pastime – it can heal, support and strengthen. As a therapeutic tool, it activates motor skills, improves concentration and memory, and fosters emotional connection. Special life situations know no age: from children with motor challenges to adults in rehab or people living with dementia or Parkinson’s.

Different stories, one shared thread: the joy of every small step forward. Beyond Limits creates moments of inclusion, promotes independence and helps people realize their potential, regardless of age or diagnosis.

  • Toys and products for rehabilitation, developmental support and the maintenance of existing abilities
  • Sensory toys for people experiencing progressive loss of cognitive or motor functions
  • Products designed for people with disabilities
  • Products for people with neurological or chronic conditions that affect daily life
  • Items whose texture, size and simplicity make them particularly suitable for these needs
  • Products that reduce loneliness and foster emotional closeness

License to Play

Ideas for new toy worlds now come as much from the internet as from film and TV. A single viral moment – a GIF, a clip or a streaming hit—can turn into a whole product range within months. At the same time, global license brands like Pokémon, Star Wars or Bluey reach children across series, games and social media.

Whether it's a viral GIF or a global film franchise, with License to Play, licenses are living worlds that grow across all channels and engage children wherever they are.

License to Play is the trend for products that thrive on strong brands, viral culture and crossplatform play universes:

  • Products born from viral moments, memes and community fandom on social media
  • Toys based on established licenses from series, games and films
  • Toy lines driven by TikTok and YouTube trends
  • Licensed products from Asian fandoms such as anime or Kpop with global appeal
  • Toys that remain relevant through sustained fandom engagement
