2026 Ningbo International Sporting Goods Expo

The 8th Ningbo International Sporting Goods Expo (CSF) will be held from September 28 to 30, 2026, at the Ningbo International Exhibition Center. This year's theme is "Sports Make Life Better," aiming to promote public awareness of fitness and drive the flourishing development of sports and health in China. As residents' living standards improve, more consumers are focusing on sports and healthy lifestyles, leading to a rapid increase in demand in the domestic sporting goods market.
According to the 2024 export data from Ningbo Port, the export value of sporting goods and equipment reached 14.99 billion yuan, an increase of 20%. The main export destinations for Ningbo's sporting goods include the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea, and Australia, with the US being the largest market. To further expand the market and promote industry development, the expo will leverage years of exhibition experience to create an efficient trade negotiation platform.
Ningbo’s foreign trade environment continues to improve, with an increasingly diverse array of trade partners. In 2020, the trade volume with the United States, the EU (excluding the UK), and ASEAN increased by 22%, 7.2%, and 10.5% respectively. Additionally, trade volume with countries along the Belt and Road accounted for 28% of Ningbo's total import and export value. Ningbo consistently ranks among the top ten cities in China for foreign trade competitiveness and was recognized among China’s top 100 cities for foreign trade competitiveness in 2020, maintaining its position at eighth nationwide for four consecutive years.
Looking back at the previous exhibitions, the 2025 Ningbo Sports Expo was successfully held from November 26 to 28, 2025, featuring five major exhibition zones and numerous concurrent activities.
