Pop Mart

Pop Mart is a Chinese toy company listed on the Hong Kong stock exchange.

[1][2] The Financial Times has described the company as having "elevated toy-buying to an act of trendy connoisseurship among China’s young affluent consumers",[3] and as having been 'credited with creating the market for so-called designer toys'.

Its success in the 'blind box' format drove a $676m USD listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in 2020 giving it a market capitalisation of $7b at the time.
