Merchandisers in Japan estimate that 80% of the population have heard of Peter Rabbit.

Since its release, the book has generated considerable merchandise for both children and adults, including toys, dishes, foods, clothing, and videos. Potter was one of the first to be responsible for such merchandise when she patented a Peter Rabbit doll in 1903 and followed it almost immediately with a Peter Rabbit board game. Peter Rabbit has remained popular amongst children for more than a century and continues to be adapted into new book editions, television programmes, and films. Beatrix Potter’s tales have featured prominently in many people’s childhoods over the years, and a new audience is just finding them, inspired by the recent live-action Hollywood films. The characters have also been heavily merchandised, with products ranging from stuffed toys to puzzles, and even currency!

Katie Mullins describes Peter's rebellious nature, which is seen in the book's first dialogue, when Mrs. Rabbit forbids Peter to go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Mullins comments that the garden is stated to be dangerous, as it is where Peter's father met his death. She cites Maria Nikolajeva and Carole Scott's description of Peter as a "naughty boy who values his independence and whose desire to transgress boundaries far outweighs his mother’s warnings or his personal safety".
