The global TCG market—especially Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh!, and Magic: The Gathering—continues to expand rapidly.
Based on market movement in 2024–2025,
several important trends are emerging that directly impact card shop layouts and fixture choices.
Here’s a clear breakdown of what’s happening and how shops should respond.
■ 1. Graded card demand continues to rise
In the U.S. and Europe, the PSA/BGS grading market continues to grow.
✔ More shops now display PSA slabs
✔ Large flat showcases like Type F are becoming essential
✔ Demand for anti-theft features (polycarbonate doors) is increasing
■ 2. High-capacity and high-visibility displays are now standard
The most notable shift overseas is the move toward:
“Show as much as possible, as clearly as possible.”
This means:
- Angled showcases like Type B
- Large flat displays like Type F
- Tall gondolas with maximum card capacity
Shops see clear results:
✔ More cards displayed = more sales
✔ Better visibility = longer customer engagement
■ 3. Security upgrades are now essential
As card values rise, store owners are investing in:
- Polycarbonate doors
- Extra locks
- Reinforced panels
- Replacing glass with impact-resistant materials
Senbi’s polycarbonate + dial lock system has been very well received.
■ 4. What should card shops focus on going forward?
✔ ① High-capacity displays
The more you display, the more you sell.
✔ ② Visibility-focused layouts
Angled displays are now standard worldwide.
✔ ③ Strong security
High-value cards require strong protection.
The TCG market is growing—and shop layouts are evolving with it.
Senbi continues to support stores globally with fixture solutions tailored to these market trends.
