New York, NY, January 24, 2023 – The NPD Group today announced the winners of the 2022 Toy Industry Performance Awards for the Americas. The awards were given to the manufacturers in the United States, Canada, and Brazil, based on the top-selling property and toy, and the top-selling toys by supercategory, and in Mexico based on top-gaining toy property and top-gaining toy property by supercategory according to NPD’s Retail Tracking Service.

“All of these winners should be tremendously proud of how they performed in 2022.
