“NPD’s latest, detailed service will provide our clients with a complete, holistic view of the durable juvenile products market and never before seen insight to help retailers and manufacturers uncover new opportunities, and make informed choices to grow their business,” said Joanne Hageman, President of NPD’s U.S. Juvenile, Toys, Video Games, and Video Entertainment divisions.
