HPA-China is hosting its annual “International Sports Nutrition Industry Summit” in Shanghai on August 15, 2018. The summit is made possible by sponsors Glanbia, GNC, and NSF International as well as partners China Gate Consulting, FIBO China Expo, and Reed-SinoPharm Exhibitions. 
 
Sports nutrition has been growing in China at over 40% for the last few years and is conservatively estimated to be worth over $200 million USD (2017). For this reason, the association continues to build bridges and extend its involvement and member benefits in this sector. Many factors have encouraged this explosive growth, such as the Chinese government’s push for a “Healthy China 2030,” which has led waves of citizens to partake in marathons, yoga, cross fit, and other fitness programs. Investment is also on the rise with many international brands entering the market, and Chinese acquisitions have kept the sector moving at ta rapid pace. 
 
Presentation topics include, Regulatory Environment, Cross Border E-commerce, Consumer Trends, Market Size and Growth, Fitness Industry Insights, Manufacturing in China, Distribution, Quality and Product Testing, Introduction to FIBO and much more. The summit includes two 30 minute networking refreshment breaks and 90 minute lunch. 
 
This year’s Summit will take place at the Regal International East Asia Hotel located in the center of Shanghai at 516 Hengshan Road Xuhui District. 
 
The timing of the event is strategic as it is positioned the day before FIBO China Expo starts. This gives attendees one full day at the Summit followed by three days at FIBO China Expo. 
 
Attendees will be from both international and domestic ingredient companies as well as finished product manufacturers, distributors, e-commerce retailers, fitness centers and government officials, and more.
