In 2014, the Asia Bike Show reached the scale of three exhibition halls for the first time. This year, the show has implemented a more systematic division of exhibition areas based on product categories: Hall A will focus on complete vehicles and parts, Hall B on complete vehicles, and Hall C on complete vehicles and equipment.
The continued participation of past exhibitors and the addition of new brands reflect the industry’s steady growth. Most of the returning complete vehicle brands have maintained the same exhibition scale as last year, such as Bianchi, Cannondale, GT, HAIBIKE, tern, Gusto, BH, SPECIALIZED, UCC, SCOTT, FUJI, GHOST, LOOK, FOCUS, COLNAGO, and others. Meanwhile, newly joined complete vehicle manufacturers such as Trek and DAHON have also reserved larger exhibition spaces. The steady growth of complete vehicle brands demonstrates confidence in the complete vehicle market, which is also evident in the increasing number of new-brand bike shops in city streets and alleys, the growing variety of bikes among cycling enthusiasts, and the expanding options for performance bicycles.
It is worth mentioning that this year’s show not only gathered numerous well-known complete vehicle brands but also welcomed active participation from many parts manufacturers, such as SRAM and Campagnolo, as well as KS, Novatec, O-lite, Alexrims, Chosen, Neco, Velo, Wellgo, VP, Maxxis, CST, Innova, and Chaoyang. Through visits to various parts manufacturers, we learned of their interest in China’s bicycle after-sales repair and maintenance market. As this market is still in its development phase and lacks established models to follow, these manufacturers hope to use the show not only to showcase their brands but also to explore the new market and seek new development opportunities. Therefore, based on market demand, we will set up a special exhibition area in Hall A, bringing together parts suppliers from both domestic and international markets, especially from Taiwan. This centralized display will facilitate communication between parts suppliers and bicycle dealers across the country regarding local market needs. As everyone is currently exploring the after-sales repair and maintenance market for bicycles, the aim is to discuss more new models for selling parts in stores.
