  • Located in China’s trend-setting city of Shanghai, the show welcomes over 23,000 buyers from China’s richest provinces. Visitors at CIBS represent the rapidly growing middle- and upper-class, keen to adopt new lifestyles.

  • Interest in yachting and increasing boat ownership have not only sparked a boom in marina construction, but have become beneficial for marinas and charter companies in Southeast Asia, welcoming an increasing amount of Chinese looking for maritime pleasure.

  • Increasing skills in manufacturing at over 150 boatyards have led to additional business opportunities, be it for manufacturers who are shifting production to China, be it for suppliers selling their products.

A business as big as Asia.

  • Meet future boat owners. China counts over 500,000 US$ millionaires, many interested in power boats and luxury yachts, as well as a growing middle class developing a keen interest in maritime sports, from sailing to surfing, from kiting to wake-boarding. More so than in many markets, image is a key to the consumer – do not miss out on promoting your brands now.

  • Meet the builder: Over 150 yards are operating in China. With domestic and OEM construction increasing rapidly, demand for high quality technology and supplies have massively increased.

  • Meet the adventurer. China’s youth is quickly adapting to new leisure opportunities, absorbing international trends in sport, fashion and music. Now becoming familiar with maritime sports such as sailing, surfing, wake-boarding and kiting, China’s youngsters form a large market of consumers.

  • Meet the traveller. 35 million Chinese are expected to travel abroad. Australia, Southeast Asia, and Europe have become key destinations – this is your chance to meet the wealthiest and introduce your destination or facility.
