They are aiming to continue growing Lego products to such an extent that the brand can be recognized even online. The CEO of Lego- Niels Christiansen, discussed the aim of the company to reach digital space by saying-
“We know very well how to immerse consumers into the Lego universe in stores. We’re working very hard to create that feeling of getting into the Lego brand universe also digitally.”
Desire to explore the digital space doesn’t suggest that Lego has been declining in its ‘real-world’ gross sale. In fact, the revenues of Lego are successfully rising by 17% compared to the year 2021, especially marking strong sell-outs in Western European and American countries.
