  • 15,579 visitors—an increase of 8 percent
  • Sports legends attract great media interest
  • China's top networking platform for sports business professionals

Tobias Gröber, Executive Director Business Unit Consumer Goods at Messe München and Director ISPO Group: “The atmosphere in the full halls was very good. The great interest underlines the importance of ISPO Shanghai as the leading platform for the international sports business in China”. In addition to previewing new trends, the fair offered the opportunity to expand the personal network in the Chinese market. Numerous exhibitors and visitors also used the matchmaking program to meet the most important Chinese e-commerce providers and retail chains. A total of 470 meetings were held.

Not only the visit of the Chinese football legend Fan Zhiyi to the International Football Forum caused a high number of visitors and great media interest. The Bundesliga International with its clubs FC Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04, Borussia Mönchengladbach, VfL Wolfsburg and Bayer 04 Leverkusen was another highlight. The visitors were also deeply impressed by the experience reports of the Chinese mountaineer Xia Boyu, who stood on Mount Everest at the age of 69, double amputated. “For the outdoor industry and numerous outdoor enthusiasts, he is a role model, an inspiration,” says Gröber.

All the rows in the comprehensive lecture and forum program were fully occupied. Experts provided information on market potential, retail in China and fashion trends. The latter could also be seen in the joint fashion show with Tmall. Brands such as Aigle, Columbia, Kailas, Lafuma and The North Face presented their latest collections, which could then be purchased in the Tmall shop. production processes and new developments in manufacturing.

The next ISPO Shanghai will take place at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC) from July 3 to 5, 2020. Further information on ISPO Shanghai can be found online. Photo material is available for downloading in the media database.
