On March 1, 2013, the third day of the ISPO BEIJING exhibition, the 2013 ISPO Sports Industry Forum will be held in Meeting Room E-232 of the Exhibition Area at the National Convention Center, discussing the current development status of China's sports industry.
The golden decade of the traditional sports industry has passed, while the sports fashion industry, represented by outdoor sports, is thriving and has become a market that footwear and apparel dealers are paying close attention to and actively entering. Has China's outdoor sports market continued its rapid expansion in 2012, or has it already entered a phase of rational development? The forum will present the "2012 China Outdoor Fashion and Sports Goods Market Development Report" and the "2012 China Outdoor Goods Annual Report," which will review the development trends of the outdoor sports market over the past year using statistical data.
Can traditional sports brands make a comeback amid declining trends? How can local brands become globally favored worldwide brands? The founder of the JanSport brand will share the secrets to the brand's success.
Faced with an unprecedentedly complex retail market, how do you choose which brands to operate, and how do you push products to the forefront of the market? Retail experts from major sporting goods retailers will join you in a brainstorming session to explore these questions together.
