WASHINGTON, D.C. — Pop Mart, the Chinese toy company behind the wildly popular Labubu monster figures, saw its quarterly revenue slide 17% as global demand for the quirky collectibles dwindles, signaling a shift in the toy‑market landscape.

Analysts say the decline mirrors broader consumer fatigue with novelty‑driven products as shoppers prioritize practical goods. Pop Mart's parent company disclosed net sales of 4.2 billion yuan ($615 million) in the third quarter, down from 5.1 billion yuan a year earlier, while its stock slipped 8% on the Shanghai Stock Exchange after the announcement.

“The Labubu craze was a short‑lived bubble,” said Li Wei, a market‑research analyst at Bain & Company. “We’re seeing a re‑balancing of consumer preferences toward sustainability and digital engagement, which could reshape the collectibles sector.”
