Brokerages See POP MART 2025 Profit Exceeding RMB 13B
Ahead of its 2025 annual results announcement on March 25, 2026, POP MART (09992.HK) has received a powerful vote of confidence from Wall Street. A consensus forecast from 15 separate brokerage firms projects the company's net profit will land between RMB 10.81 billion and RMB 14.092 billion. The median estimate of RMB 13.023 billion represents a remarkable 317% increase from the RMB 3.125 billion net profit reported for 2024. The most optimistic projection, from JPMorgan, anticipates a 351% year-over-year expansion to RMB 14.092 billion.
Sales Exceeding 400M Units Drive Growth Strategy
The optimistic financial projections are rooted in the company's operational execution and strategic initiatives. POP MART confirmed that global product sales across all its categories and IPs surpassed 400 million units last year, lifted by high demand for new releases like "Twinkle Twinkle Savor the Moment" and various holiday-themed products. Investors are now focused on the company's ability to maintain this momentum by expanding into overseas markets and diversifying its revenue streams. Key to this strategy is the continued success of its iconic IP franchises, including SKULLPANDA, TWINKLE TWINKLE, and CRYBABY, which are seen as critical for building evergreen brands. The company has also actively pursued co-branding opportunities with major entertainment properties, including blockbuster Netflix series, to broaden its market appeal.
Collectibles Market Booms as Funko Reports 20% European Growth
POP MART’s projected growth reflects significant tailwinds across the entire collectibles industry. Competitor Funko recently reported strong Q4 2025 results, highlighting a 20% increase in European sales that doubled the region's overall market growth. This demonstrates a clear and growing international appetite for collectibles, validating the strategic focus on overseas expansion for players like POP MART. Furthermore, the market outlook is bolstered by what Funko's management described as one of the strongest entertainment slates in years for 2026, featuring major IP releases like Toy Story 5 and Avengers: Doomsday. This pipeline of new content is expected to fuel consumer interest and drive sales across the licensed products sector, creating a favorable environment for POP MART to achieve its ambitious growth targets.
