The world\u2019s largest toymaker, Hasbro, reported a double-digit surge in sales in 2020 tied to the spectacular performance of its Star Wars merchandise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the research data analyzed and published by Sijoitusrahastot<\/a>, the company posted an increase of 70% in its Star Wars merchandise sales. This was in spite of the fact that 2020 was the first year since 2014 that Disney did not have a Star Wars theater release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a bid to make up for that loss, Disney+ streamed The Mandalorian series. Grogu, formerly known as Baby Yoda, was among the top hits for the Star Wars segment. Hasbro had a hard time meeting the high demand for products featuring the little green alien.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, Hasbro\u2019s holiday quarter revenue shot up by 4% year-over-year (YoY) to $1.7 billion, with a 27% uptick in the gaming segment and a 20% increase in the TV\/film\/entertainment segment. Sales in the US and Canada shot up by 16% during the period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
