Project Background:

The 8th Ningbo International Sports Goods Fair (CSF) will be held at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center from September 28 to 30, 2026. With the improvement of living standards among Chinese residents, market demand for sports goods has grown rapidly. Meanwhile, China’s sports goods exports have maintained steady growth, driving continuous expansion of the domestic industry. Under the theme “Sports Makes Life Better”, CSF is committed to promoting public fitness awareness and advancing the vigorous development of sports and health in China.

According to 2024 export statistics from Ningbo Port, exports of sports goods and equipment reached 14.99 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 20%. Data from Ningbo Customs shows that major export markets include the U.S., Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia and others, with the U.S. as the largest market.

To better meet market demand and boost industry development, we draw on years of exhibition experience and uphold the philosophy of “Professionalism, Branding, Scale and Internationalization”. Through professional operation and a complete buyer invitation system, we provide a more efficient and comprehensive trade platform for all industry participants.

Advantages of Ningbo:

Ningbo’s import and export structure continues to optimize, with a more diversified range of trading partners. In 2020, the U.S., EU (excluding the UK) and ASEAN remained Ningbo’s top three trading partners, with imports and exports increasing by 22%, 7.2% and 10.5% respectively. Trade with countries along the Belt and Road accounted for 28% of Ningbo’s total foreign trade. In terms of potential competitiveness, Ningbo has long ranked among the top 10 in China’s Top 30 Cities for Foreign Trade Potential, placing eighth in this evaluation. It was also listed among China’s Top 100 Cities for Foreign Trade Competitiveness in 2020, ranking eighth nationwide and first in Zhejiang Province for four consecutive years.
