SHANGHAI, May 7 (Xinhua) -- The 30th China International Bicycle Fair kicked off in Pudong, Shanghai on Wednesday, drawing more than 1,000 enterprises to participate.
Covering a total area of 135,000 square meters, the exhibition set up 6,000 booths for more than 1,000 exhibitors.
As a major bike producer and exporter in the world, China contributes to more than 60 percent of international bicycle trade volume, according to the China Bicycle Association, the organizer of the event.
The number of export orders of the country's bicycle industry has increased significantly since 2020, as cycling has become more popular worldwide due to the impact of COVID-19.
The association expects China's bike output to reach 80 million units this year, and exports of the industry to grow by around 10 percent.
