The Paris Organising Committee has confirmed that 80% of the Olympic mascots are made in China, with a substantial portion produced in the Chinese city of Yiwu. This dominance underscores China\u2019s strategic advantage in the global supply chain for the Paris 2024 Olympics event-related products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Increased cross-border e-commerce activity<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The excitement of the 2024 Paris Olympics has significantly impacted the digital marketplace, with Chinese e-commerce platforms like Temu, Shein and AliExpress all capitalising on the event. These platforms have leveraged the Olympic buzz to boost their visibility in Europe, offering everything from budget accessories to high-end sports gear. The competition among these sellers mirrors the intensity of the sports events, featuring aggressive pricing and strategic promotions. This surge in e-commerce is conductive in helping Chinese sellers address challenges in building brand recognition and breaking into mainstream European markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/shop-like-a-billionaire-behind-the-rapid-rise-of-temu\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629\"><style> .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629:active, .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .uf98e3f4c14e4bdbb6c1a44cb04278629:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">\"Shop like a billionaire\": Inside the rapid rise of Temu<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The \u201cOlympics Effect\u201d: Sports industry trends<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Winning medals and showcasing national athletic prowess is important, but the broader significance of the Olympics lies in sparking public interest in the sports industry, with the added bonus of improving overall health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, following the Beijing Olympics in 2008, China designated August 8 as National Fitness Day each year and elevated national fitness to a strategic priority in 2014. In 2019, the State Council released the Outline for Building a Leading Sports Nation, a plan which aims to develop the country of 1.4 billion people into a \u201cmodern sports power\u201d by 2050. Similarly, the 14th Five-Year Plan further specifies the goal of establishing China as a sports powerhouse by 2035, highlighting the nation\u2019s significant focus on sports development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s sports industry has shown remarkable growth, with total output rising to RMB 3.3 trillion (U$461.68 billion) by 2022. Historically, sports equipment has been the largest segment of China\u2019s sports industry. However, with growing fitness awareness and increased sports consumption, sports services \u2013 such as event management, venue operations, and training \u2013 have experienced significant growth too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-data443-irp-shortcode irp-shortcode\"><div style=\"clear:both; margin-top:2em; margin-bottom:2em;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/discover-chinas-consumer-opportunity-at-china-consumer-2024\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"dofollow\" class=\"u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38\"><style> .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38 { padding:0px; margin: 0; padding-top:1em!important; padding-bottom:1em!important; width:100%; display: block; font-weight:bold; background-color:#eaeaea; border:0!important; border-left:4px solid #E74C3C!important; box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -o-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); -webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.17); text-decoration:none; } .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38:active, .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38:hover { opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; text-decoration:none; } .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38 { transition: background-color 250ms; webkit-transition: background-color 250ms; opacity: 1; transition: opacity 250ms; webkit-transition: opacity 250ms; } .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38 .ctaText { font-weight:bold; color:#E74C3C; text-decoration:none; font-size: 16px; } .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38 .postTitle { color:#000000; text-decoration: underline!important; font-size: 16px; } .u6da3d3ed3f9570af87c247aa354dfe38:hover .postTitle { text-decoration: underline!important; } <\/style><div style=\"padding-left:1em; padding-right:1em;\"><span class=\"ctaText\">Read Also<\/span>&nbsp; <span class=\"postTitle\">Discover China\u2019s consumer opportunity at China Consumer 2024<\/span><\/div><\/a><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Current per capita sports spending in China is around RMB 3,000 (\u00a3330). According to a recent report, the structure of sports consumption is evolving with three notable trends:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Shift to service-oriented spending: <\/strong>There is a movement from purchasing physical products like sportswear and equipment to spending on services such as event tickets and fitness training.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increased demand for new outdoor sports: <\/strong>Outdoor sports activities like cycling, water sports, ice and snow activities, climbing, fishing, marathons and equestrian sports are becoming more popular.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Integration of sports with other industries: <\/strong>This trend is leading to new \u201csports+\u201d business models. For instance, the ice and snow tourism market, driven by the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, saw significant activity with 230 million visits and over RMB 390 billion (US$54.56 billion) in revenue during the 2020-2021 season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although China\u2019s sports-related products still lag behind those of other developed economies \u2013 where sports-related leisure products account for about 50% of the market \u2013 the growth of sports media and entertainment is expanding consumer potential and contributing to the sector\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"\/lp-cta-membership1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"4680\" height=\"786\" src=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1.png 4680w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-300x50.png 300w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-1024x172.png 1024w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-768x129.png 768w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-1536x258.png 1536w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-2048x344.png 2048w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-1920x322.png 1920w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-1170x197.png 1170w, https:\/\/focus.cbbc.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/lp-membership1-585x98.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 4680px) 100vw, 4680px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><em>A longer version of this article was originally published by Dezan Shira &amp; Associates\u2019 China Briefing with the title \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.china-briefing.com\/news\/chinas-economic-and-sports-industry-gains-from-paris-2024-olympics\/\">China\u2019s Economic and Sports Industry Gains from Paris 2024 Olympics<\/a>\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China\u2019s athletes performed exceptionally well at this year&#8217;s Paris Olympics, placing second in the medal table \u2013 here&#8217;s how the games have had a wider impact at home&#8230; The two-week-long event offered numerous opportunities for Chinese businesses to engage in international trade and commerce.
