New Opportunities of Silver Economy : China Sport Show 2026 Leads Age-Friendly Sports Equipment

The world is witnessing an unprecedented aging wave. According to the WHO data from February 2025, the global population aged 60 and above will grow from 1.1 billion in 2023 to 1.4 billion by 2030, with even faster growth in developing regions. Maintaining physical function, preventing chronic diseases, and staying socially engaged are core health needs for seniors—and scientific exercise is the key to fulfilling them.

Against this backdrop, sports consumption is accelerating its "age-friendly" transformation. China Sport Show 2026 has captured this trend, setting up a zone for age-friendly products and services in the 2026 Asia Pacific Fitness Section to promote the implementation of "safe, effective, and easy-to-use" fitness solutions for seniors.

Participating enterprises have launched low-impact smart fitness equipment tailored for middle-aged and elderly groups, such as aerobic and strength equipment with seated training, adaptive resistance, and heart-rate-linked protection. These features effectively reduce joint strain and exercise risks. All products will be on display at the show.

The zone also highlights fall prevention assessment systems, balance training devices, and rehabilitation aids. Supporting services include simplified operation interfaces, voice guidance, and remote coach support—directly addressing seniors’ pain points of "daring not to exercise" and "not knowing how to exercise".

"Scientific assessment + personalized intervention" is crucial to unlocking seniors’ exercise potential. Responding to the health needs of 1.4 billion seniors worldwide, China Sport Show 2026 will turn the concept of "seniors exercising safely and effectively" into practice through the exhibition of professional equipment and service systems.
