North America continues to dominate the global inflatable toys market. The region is expected to hold 38.3% of the market share in 2024, due to strong consumer demand and presence of major manufacturers in the region. The U.S. accounts for the largest share owing to the increased popularity of outdoor recreational activities among people of all age groups. Leading American toy makers offer a varied collection of inflatable bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses and pools catering to kids as well as adults. Robust distribution network allows easy access to these products across modern and online retail channels. Another key factor for North American leadership is innovative marketing strategies adopted by companies.
