India Board Games Market to Grow with a CAGR of 8.78% through 2030F

The India Board Games Market is driven by factors such as rising disposable incomes, growing demand for screen-free family entertainment, expanding e-commerce reach, and increasing urbanization.

According to TechSci Research report, “India Board Games Market – By Region, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F”, the India Board Games Market was valued at USD 1.69 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 2.80 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 8.78% during the forecast period. The India board games market has witnessed a dynamic transformation in recent years, transitioning from a niche hobby to a mainstream form of entertainment. Traditionally limited to classic games like Ludo, Snakes and Ladders, and Carrom, the market has evolved to include a diverse range of strategy, party, cooperative, and educational games that appeal to children, teenagers, and adults alike. This shift has been driven by a growing consumer desire for screen-free leisure activities that foster family bonding and intellectual engagement. With a mix of domestic manufacturers and global players introducing innovative and engaging formats, the landscape of Indian board gaming is steadily maturing into a significant segment of the broader toys and entertainment industry.

With increasing purchasing power and a shift towards experiential spending, Indian consumers are willing to invest in quality leisure products like board games. Additionally, the growing popularity of game nights, board game cafés, and hobby clubs has created a vibrant community of players and enthusiasts. These venues not only facilitate social interaction but also introduce consumers to a variety of international games, further broadening the market. Events like board game conventions and tournaments are also gaining traction, highlighting the cultural shift towards collaborative and strategic gameplay over passive entertainment.

The rise of digital retail channels has played a critical role in democratizing access to board games across the country. E-commerce platforms such as Amazon, Flipkart, and FirstCry have made it easier for consumers in tier-2 and tier-3 cities to discover and purchase board games that were previously available only in metros. This digital push is complemented by increased visibility on social media, influencer marketing, and YouTube tutorials that educate potential buyers about gameplay, setup, and value. Additionally, the pandemic-induced lockdowns temporarily pushed families indoors, accelerating the demand for interactive, non-digital games and reinforcing the long-term potential of the segment.
