Sportswear market growing rapidly in China

From Adidas, Nike, Puma, Li Ning and Anta to Qiaodan, 361 Degrees and Xtep, the sportswear market in China has posted rapid growth in the last few years. Euromonitor figures reveal that the size of the Chinese sportswear market grew 19.5% year-on-year to USD 37.3 billion in 2018. In addition, market statistics show that professional sportswear makes up one-third of the sportswear market in China. As Chinese consumers are becoming more health conscious and doing more exercise, the professional sportswear market is poised for further growth.

“This is the first time we’ve put all of our brands in one booth. It’s helpful to be in this product zone, Functional Lab, and it’s important for us to come out to China and show what we’re doing. Here we can make some announcements on our sustainability updates, make connections with the market and gain media exposure for our new products. China is an enormous market and global brands have business here, so it’s something we need to be a part of, and that’s why we’re at Intertextile.”

Mr Per-Olof Loof, President & CEO, Elevate Textiles, USA

“This exhibition has been in business for 25 years and has attracted many domestic and overseas brands and buyers.
