Global Stuffed Plush Toys Market Overview:
A stuffed plush toy is a toy with an outer fabric that is sewn from a textile and is further filled with a flexible material. In the UK and Australia, they can be called soft toys or cuddly toys. The toy originated in Germany in the late 19th century and became increasingly popular after the teddy bear was founded in 1903. Stuffed toys are made in many different shapes, but most often resemble real animals (sometimes with exaggerated proportions or features), legendary creatures, cartoon characters, or inanimate objects. The apparel, footwear, and accessories industries are expected to experience mixed growth during 2020 due to the unprecedented supply chain disruptions caused by the global COVID-19 outbreak. The expected decline in global sales of clothing, shoes, and accessories is due to massive disruptions in the supply chain in major export markets such as China and India.
