Licensing Industry Merchandisers’ Association (LIMA) has introduced the first in a series of consumer survey reports detailing kids’ favorite brands and characters across various categories in 31 countries worldwide. LIMA has commissioned Kidz Global to produce the reports, which will be released quarterly for nine countries and semi-annually for the remaining 22.
With each report, Kidz Global’s BrandTrends will measure the relative awareness, popularity, and merchandise appeal of the top 30 brands to children. Each report will also identify the most recognizable kid licenses in the country for both boys and girls, as well as by category and in four different age groups from infants to tweens/young teens. Informative key facts will be presented throughout the reports to provide further insight into the survey results.
Of the 31 countries reviewed annually, surveys covering the U.S., Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the UK will be updated and released quarterly. Two reports per year will be compiled for the following countries: Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Philippines, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey.
