Outdoor Is Still A Quite New Market In China.

Since 2002 an enormous dynamic has ensued. An average growth of 25-30% per year is considered normal. If all typical outdoor sport segments would be added up, the Chinese market volume in 2010 would amount to 10-11 billion RMB (approximately 1.63 billion A$). High growth rates are noted in the northern provinces, in the middle and in western China. Experts estimate that China’s outdoor market will reach 30-40 billion RMB (approx. 4.75-6.4 billion A$) in 2020 and thus be on position no. 3 in the world, right after USA and Europe.

The 6th “Asia Outdoor” will occupy 3 halls approximately 35,000 sqm. The organizers expect between 17,000 and 18,000 outdoor visitors and 390 outdoor exhibitors in 2011. The “Asia Outdoor” show this year will be combined with the new "Asia Bike" show in Nanjing. The first “Asia Bike” in Nanjing will be allocated to a hall of 12,000 square meters right next door to the “Asia Outdoor” show.
