LEGO Group CEO Niels Christiansen said: “We got off to a strong start in 2022 and are very satisfied with our performance which landed above expectations after an exceptional 2021.

“Despite global uncertainties, we continued to deliver higher consumer sales and double-digit top-line growth driven by demand for our strong portfolio and execution by our amazing team.

“For the second half of 2022, we continue to see strong demand for our products. Longer-term, we expect top-line growth to normalise to more sustainable levels.

“We will also continue to reinvest in our business and accelerate initiatives such as product innovation, digitalisation, production capacity, our retail network and sustainability to maintain momentum and deliver sustainable growth in the long-term.”

Last month, LEGO Group officially opened a 33,850m² expansion of its factory in Monterrey, Mexico, to increase its production capacity.

The expansion is part of the company’s $500m investment in the site and is intended to meet growing demand both in the Americas and worldwide.
