CHINA SPORT SHOW 2026 Concludes Successfully | Ningjin Contingent: From Absence to Center Stage — An Industrial Leap Demonstrating the Accelerated Pace of Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing

From May 21 to 24, CHINA SPORT SHOW 2026 concluded successfully in Xiamen, Fujian Province. During the exhibition, over 200 fitness equipment enterprises from Ningjin, Shandong Province made a collective appearance under the theme of “Shared Smart Manufacturing • Connecting the World,” showcasing their latest technologies and products. With an exhibition area exceeding 20,000 square meters and accounting for over 40% of the show’s commercial fitness equipment segment, their participation reached a record high and became a major highlight.

From shunning exhibitions to making significant investments in them, Ningjin’s fitness equipment industry has undergone a fundamental leap — from products to brands, and from a local county to the global stage. A decade ago, Ningjin enterprises were primarily engaged in imitation and OEM manufacturing, showing little interest in the expo. In 2024, the number of Ningjin exhibitors rose to 103; in 2025, it grew to 190; and in 2026, it surpassed 200 — writing a remarkable chapter of industrial ascent from obscurity to dominance.

This industrial strength is built on solid capabilities. Ningjin now hosts nearly 4,000 fitness equipment manufacturers and supporting enterprises, forming a "half-hour supply chain circle" where a piece of fitness equipment can be researched, developed and packaged entirely within the county — shortening R&D cycles by 40% and reducing production costs by 30%. Its products are exported to over 170 countries and regions. Currently, the output value of Ningjin’s fitness equipment industry has reached 17 billion yuan, accounting for over 70% of the domestic commercial fitness equipment market share.

Driven by a globalization strategy, Ningjin’s enterprises have evolved from waiting for orders at home to competing for orders overseas, with CHINA SPORT SHOW serving as the most vivid stage for this transformation.

As one chapter closes, a new journey begins. In 2027, CHINA SPORT SHOW 2027 will move to the Western China International Expo City in Chengdu from May 13 to 16. We cordially invite global sporting goods industry professionals to join us in Chengdu for another grand celebration!
