Germany ranked third
Germany continues to be Hong Kong's third most important toy export market. Nevertheless, the export of toys to Germany till December at around USD 1.25 billion was significantly down compared to 2009. The largest decline was in party articles and video games, as a result of the competition from games using smart phones or Ipad. Also an increasing number of products are being shipped directly from Chinese mainland, no longer being recorded in Hong Kong.
