Sport and Fitness main distributors in China

1. Physical stores

According to your strategy, you can either choose to distribute your products in mono-brand chain stores or in speciality chain stores. Leader brands like Nike, Adidas, Li Ning, or New Balance can afford to sell through mono-brand chain stores thanks to their name and developed stage in China.

If you cannot afford this distribution method, we recommend you to sell through speciality chain stores which are quite helpful for new brands since customers can directly know more about your products.

Of course, it is good to be present in physical stores. But nowadays, most of the Chinese shop online. Even though physical markets will increase your exposure, your presence on suitable digital platforms is the most essential thing for selling your products in this market.
