China Cycle 2026: Pioneering a New Era of Cycling Innovation
The 34th China International Bicycle Fair, known as China Cycle 2026, is set to take place from May 5 to 8, 2026, at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC). This year's theme,
"The Future Built on Innovation and Intelligence", reflects the dynamic shifts and advancements in the cycling industry, particularly focusing on both traditional bicycles and e-bikes.
With over three decades of expertise, China Cycle is not merely an exhibition; it has established itself as a
global hub shaping trends in the cycling sector. The fair has grown to become the leading professional platform with substantial influence on the industry. In 2024, the production of bicycles in China reached nearly 99.54 million units, indicating the robustness of the market and the increasing demand for various cycling solutions, including high-end electric bicycles, which accounted for 19.1% of total imports last year.
One significant feature of China Cycle 2026 is its role as a
strategic gateway for international brands seeking to penetrate the vast and diverse Chinese consumer market. The event ensures access not only to market opportunities but also delivers crucial insights into local consumer needs, facilitating a more tailored approach to business development.
The 2025 edition of the fair was highly successful, showcasing 1,580 exhibitors from 25 countries and regions across 13 exhibition halls, attracting a multitude of global brands to explore and establish sales channels within this burgeoning market. For 2026, the exhibition is expected to expand to
160,000 square meters, with a redesigned layout optimized for evolving business and buyer requirements, enhancing visibility and engagement for all participants.
The Chinese bicycle and e-bike market continues to thrive, propelled by the introduction of new national standards aimed at boosting the green and low-carbon transformation of the industry. The China Cycle serves as a critical
bridge and connector, advocating a new model of synergistic development and mutual benefits, essential for the progression of the global two-wheeler industry.
In 2025, numerous international brands capitalized on their participation at China Cycle to effectively enter the Chinese market and expand their operational reach. The rising demand for innovative and high-quality bicycles within the Chinese consumer base presents a significant opportunity for global brands.
China Cycle invites businesses worldwide to participate in this formidable industry event. This is an opportunity not just to showcase products but also to network with industry leaders, innovate collaboratively, and help shape the future of cycling together.
