Abstract

Over the past few decades, the wave of globalization has dramatically changed the landscape of production and consumption, including the toy industry. This paper delves into the contemporary landscape of cross-border supply chain management within the toy industry, meticulously examining the principal challenges it faces and the lucrative opportunities it presents. Through a rigorous analysis of the toy supply chain amidst the backdrop of globalization, this paper identifies the pivotal factors that influence both efficiency and sustainability. Based on our findings, we formulate countermeasures aimed at addressing these challenges. The discussion is centered on strategies for optimizing supply chain management and bolstering competitiveness, emphasizing technological innovation, fostering greater transparency within the supply chain, strengthening partnerships, and ensuring compliance with international trade regulations. By doing so, it aims to contribute to the advancement of supply chain practices in the toy industry, ensuring its resilience and success in the global market.
