Some of the dolls just sit there, while others suck their bottles, wet their diapers, cry, giggle with joy, and even take a dip in the pool. Zapf Creation also makes accessories for the dolls (including special food, potty chairs, and clothing), and collectible designer dolls. The company's BABY Born line of realistic-looking dolls and more than 100 accessories account for about 45% of sales. Zapf Creation, founded in 1932 by Max and Rosa Zapf, sells its products in more than 65 countries worldwide. To read the full description, subscribe now.

Competitive Landscape for Zapf Creation AG
Growth in the population of children age 12 and younger drives demand for toys; demand for electronic gaming products is driven by personal income and product innovation.

Large companies can offer a wide selection of toys, and have scale advantages in purchasing, manufacturing, distributing, selling, and marketing. Small companies compete effectively by specializing in a product segment, or responding faster to market trends. The electronic gaming console industry is capital-intensive. Toy manufacturers face increasing competition from other sources of entertainment for children, including the Internet, television, and other consumer electronics.
