Inspired by children to provide a resource for meeting their play needs today and beyond.

Today ATA’s members are involved in a large variety of children’s products ranging across toys, hobbies, nursery, clothing, confectionery, games (board, electronic & video), CDs, books, collectibles, car safety, furniture, sports, lifestyle & licensed products. This reflects the increasing diversification of ATA’s membership as they develop to meet the changing needs of a quickly evolving society.

Also while children’s products are the initial focus, this often diversifies into the wider lifestyle & licensed product ranges for adults.

ATA has a major role in delivering information and services that extend the performance of the industry sectors as they serve the changing needs of the consumer – at an individual level, a national level and as a global industry.
