The "2017 New Retail & Outdoor Industry Development Trends Conference" held in Xiamen
The outdoor industry is an emerging and rapidly growing sunrise sector in China. The domestic outdoor products market in the true sense began in the early 1990s, then went through a long period of dormancy, before entering a phase of explosive growth after 2000. In the just-concluded 2016, the outdoor products market had reached a scale of nearly 50 billion yuan, with both outdoor brands and retailers achieving steady and rapid development. So, what kind of development trends will the outdoor industry show in 2017?
On the evening of January 5, the "2017 New Retail & Outdoor Industry Development Trends Conference," hosted by TUDAOO (Xiamen) Outdoor Products Co., Ltd., was held at the Xiamen Grand Hotel. Li Changfa, Secretary-General of the Outdoor Branch of the China Textile Industry Association, Li Yangjun, Deputy General Manager of Nanjing Ningfei International Exhibition Co., Ltd. and Project Manager of the Asia Outdoor Show, independent designer Rico. Lee, color strategy expert Liu Qizhi, and other industry heavyweights gathered in Xiamen to release insights on the opportunities and challenges for the outdoor industry over the next decade, new trends in the outdoor industry, the synergistic development of outdoor and tourism, outdoor apparel design trends, and the popular colors for outdoor products in 2017. Also attending the conference that day were more than 400 notable figures, including well-known domestic and international outdoor product brands, department store representatives, manufacturers, fabric suppliers, and regional retailers, making it a veritable annual gathering for the outdoor industry.
Mao Yuying, Assistant Vice President of Product Planning at TUDAOO, unveiled TUDAOO’s latest autumn/winter 2017 products, and the spectacular new product runway show that evening stole the spotlight and captivated the audience.
