Uniting the Global Toy Community

Since 1975, the International Council of Toy Industries (ICTI) has served as the convening organization for the worldwide toy industry ICTI and its member trade associations are committed to championing the value of play; supporting the rights and well-being of factory workers; promoting responsible toy safety standards; reducing barriers to trade; and advancing social responsibility.

Our members are toy trade associations from some 20 different diverse nations on five continents. Each one represents several hundred to several thousand companies, including manufacturers, retailers, designers , and service providers from small, medium, and large enterprises. Together, ICTI members cover more than 75% of the world’s toy production.

In 2003, ICTI instituted an annual award to honor nonprofit organizations in its member countries that work to ensure the welfare of children around the world. The award is presented to a childcare NGO or institution nominated by the toy association hosting that year’s AGM.
