Record attendance at ISPO Beijing

03/02/2015
A record number of visitors passed through the doors of SIPO Beijing at the end of January: 29,950, which organisers describe as a ”slight increase”.

This year the show hosted over 430 exhibitors and 656 brands in 40,000 square meters of exhibit space.

Klaus Dittrich, chairman of show organiser Messe München, said: “The four trade show days once again showed that the sporting goods industry continues to grow in China.

“This is also evident in the increasing number and quality of the exhibitors. In addition to numerous great Asian brands like Kailas, Mobi Garden and Toread, the list of exhibitors also included many international companies, such as Garmont, LOWA, Mammut and TECNICA.

“Craft, Dynastar, Gore, La Sportiva, Point65, Swix and Thule participated for the first to introduce their products on the Chinese market.”

“In terms of development of the exhibition we very much welcome the Chinese industry’s initiative to instil a stronger awareness for health and sports in society.”
