FRIEDRICHSHAFEN 2012-01-09
EUROBIKE goes China

Dear Business Partner EUROBIKE,

The EUROBIKE is the world's leading trade fair for the bicycle industry. It stands for high innovation, high-end products, trends and a perfect community platform. As such, it is only logical that one should now also be looking at the emerging markets such as China.

Our entry into business in China took place six years ago with the Asia Outdoor through a joint venture in which Messe Friedrichshafen is significantly involved. We are not only putting our expertise and our networking competence into this event, but also have central marketing responsibilities. Within a short time, the Asia Outdoor has become the leading outdoor trade fair in China and throughout Asia. 19,180 trade visitors (+17.5%), 452 exhibiting brands (+26%) over an exhibition area of 42,000 square meters (+31%) and 405 media representatives were registered 2011 in Nanjing.

Parallel to the Asia Outdoor, the Asia Bike was also held for the first time in July 2011, which was organized through the same joint venture, and therefore also primarily by us. As there are many technical sales synergies between the outdoor and bicycle trade in China, the combination of both fairs under the motto "Two exhibitions, one entrance fee" seemed to lend itself to the occasion. And the feedback was accordingly positive about the first event: 138 brands (95 of them from abroad) occupied an exhibition area of 12,000 square meters. 11,957 trade visitors and 355 journalists (including 17 TV channels) found their way to the first event in Nanjing. The resonance to the Asia Bike in TV exceeded all imaginable dimensions and thus makes this event unique in China.

Similar to the Eurobike, the Asia Bike has dedicated itself to the high-end and high-tech sector. The concept in Nanjing will quite deliberately focus not on the mass market, but the premium market. Many conceptual modules of the EUROBIKE such as the Industrial Award, the testing circuit or the fashion show are also an integral part of the Asia Bike. On the basis of the extremely positive initial run, numerous key account discussions and – ultimately - because of the current status of registrations, we are expecting strong growth for 2012.

We can only encourage you to actively approach the future in a foreign continent head on and to take advantage of this market opportunity. Because if there is one thing that all previous business transactions in China have shown us: it is only by being onboard early-on that you will be able to position yourself at relatively low acquisition costs in the Chinese domestic market.
