Focusing on New Opportunities in Sports, Outdoor, and Baby Products Markets

HONG KONG, April 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Phase 3 of the 2025 Global Sources Hong Kong Shows officially opened today and will run until April 30 at AsiaWorld-Expo in Hong Kong. The four-day event covering two major trade shows: “Sports & Outdoor Show” and “Baby & Children’s Products Show.” The exhibition brings together more than 700 exhibitors from across Asia, focusing on three core areas: “Product Upgrades,” “Community Scenarios,” and “Customization Services,” showcasing diverse products including camping supplies and equipment, fitness equipment, water sports gear, outdoor sports products, sportswear, and accessories, creating an efficient and precise international sourcing platform for global professional buyers. The concurrent Baby & Children’s Products Show focuses on displaying various maternal and infant products and related services, including baby toys, strollers, safety seats, and baby furniture. The exhibition is expected to attract nearly 15,000 visitors, promoting industry exchange and business cooperation.

Sports & Outdoor Show: World Cup-Themed Area Leads the Trend

With the 2026 World Cup approaching, global sourcing demand for sports products is expected to rise significantly. The show has specially set up a “World Cup-themed Area,” showcasing diverse categories including sports equipment, apparel, souvenirs, and customized promotional items. The area brings together international brand manufacturing partners and vertical domain specialists to precisely meet market demands.

Exhibitors will showcase products made from sustainable materials, responding to global market concerns about green manufacturing. For example, Maxstar, which has collaborated with Pepsi and Coca-Cola, will display an eco-friendly football series made from renewable materials, injecting sustainable development value into traditional sports products; Healy Sportswear and Normzl are offering flexible B2B customization services where everything from jersey colors to team logo designs and cultural totem elements can be personalized to meet diverse market needs; while in the area of cultural derivatives, some exhibitors are breaking through homogenization challenges by combining World Cup elements with team IP to explore the cultural value-added potential of event economics.

John Kao, Vice President of Hong Kong Shows & Overseas Shows at Global Sources, points out: “The World Cup is both a golden window for driving order growth and an important opportunity for companies to upgrade products and innovate services. Companies need to balance short-term order pressure with long-term brand value.”

Outdoor Products Moving Toward Multi-Scenario Application Era

Beyond the World Cup-themed area, outdoor sports products are also showing innovative trends. A series of products such as camping equipment, mountain climbing gear, and water activity supplies are gradually transforming from single-tool attributes to carriers of lifestyle, embodying the industry development direction of “function as application scenario,” injecting new momentum into the outdoor equipment market. Taking the well-known outdoor brand TMZ as an example, they are exhibiting their latest foldable camping cart, made of durable materials with scenario-based design elements that achieve seamless transition between function and usage scenarios. Its detachable oil-resistant tabletop can flexibly adapt to different outdoor situations such as transportation, dining, and barbecue, fully meeting diversified camping needs. This innovative “function as application scenario” design not only caters to market demand for multi-scenario applications but also opens up new growth space for the outdoor products industry.

To enhance the on-site experience for visitors, the exhibition features multiple sports-themed activities, including a sports carnival, PICKLEBALL experience zone, and football interactive area. The exhibition also joins with the Sports Performance and Functional Fitness Federation of Hong Kong, China to organize Indoor Triathlon Invitation Competition, inviting athletes to compete on-site, vividly demonstrating the unique charm of skiing, cycling, and rowing triathlon. Meanwhile, Global Sources Hong Kong Shows is partnering for the first time with Po Leung Kuk Youth Affairs Department to organize the “Emerging Sports Promotion Day,” featuring demonstrations by award-winning coaches and introducing the emerging sport “Extreme Speed Disc,” which was independently developed by Po Leung Kuk and recognized by the Flying Disc Federation of Hong Kong, China and China Hong Kong Newly Emerged Sports Association. In addition, Wing Chun Master Lam Shu-shing will make a personal appearance to demonstrate Ip Man-Leung Sheung Wing Chun techniques, adding a highlight of traditional martial arts culture to the exhibition.

John Kao adds: “These immersive themed activities are gradually reshaping traditional business matching methods. Through various sports experiences, buyers and suppliers can more intuitively feel product value in real application, thereby establishing deeper consensus on product functions and market needs. This is the core purpose of Global Sources setting up themed activity areas.”

Baby & Children’s Products Show: Smart and Emotional Design Leads Industry New Directions

The Baby & Children’s Products Show focuses on diverse products including baby supplies, toys, clothing, strollers, safety seats, and baby furniture, aiming to build an efficient connection platform for upstream and downstream enterprises in the industry chain, promoting technological upgrades and innovative cooperation. The maternal and infant industry is currently transitioning from “meeting basic needs” to a development stage that emphasizes both “technology-enabled safety” and “emotional value co-creation.” The exhibition perfectly presents this transformation, serving as a weather vane for market trends in the next six months to a year.

In terms of infant care products, as scientific parenting concepts become popular, intelligent applications are increasingly mature. Exhibitor Vizolink’s AI baby monitoring system integrates millimeter-wave radar with visual AI, supporting functions such as sleep apnea alerts and continuous temperature monitoring, providing real-time warnings of potential risks, greatly enhancing the safety and technological protection of family childcare, becoming an important representative of baby products moving from function-oriented to intelligent upgrades.

At the same time, emotional design is rapidly emerging in the field of baby products. Brands are incorporating elements of childlike fun, aesthetics, and storytelling by combining community scenarios, not only enhancing product added value but also strengthening emotional connections between users and products, exploring new growth paths. For example, the brand Zoyzoii under Shenzhen Miker Technology Co., Ltd. focuses on children’s travel product design, cleverly integrating natural elements with childlike styles, transforming practical items such as backpacks and water bottles into children’s growth companions. The exhibition displays series products such as bear-shaped backpacks, mushroom-shaped backpacks, and natural-style water bottles, which are exquisite in appearance and combine practicality with emotional value, fully demonstrating the development trend of the baby products market’s increasing emphasis on emotional connection and product design.

INDY 500 Stars Join Forces with ZERO Prostate Cancer to Put Veterans’ Health in the Spotlight at Memorial Day Weekend Races

Published

May 23, 2025

By

INDIANAPOLIS, May 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This Memorial Day Weekend, the spotlight won’t only be on speed—it’ll be on saving lives. ZERO Prostate Cancer (ZERO), the nation’s leading advocacy and support organization for prostate cancer, is proud to announce its powerful presence across America’s most iconic motorsports stages: the Indianapolis 500 and NASCAR’s Coca-Cola 600 and BetMGM 300. The message? Veterans are twice as likely to face prostate cancer—and early detection saves lives.

“This weekend isn’t just about racing—it’s about saving lives,” said Josh Bilicki.

In partnership with Juncos Hollinger Racing, ZERO’s logo will be featured on two cars in the 1009th Running of the Indianapolis 500—the world’s biggest single-day sporting event—on Sunday, May 25 at 12:45 PM ET (FOX). ZERO’s logo will appear on the cars of INDYCAR drivers Conor Daly and Sting Ray Robb.

At the same time, ZERO and partner AstraZeneca are making waves in NASCAR’s patriotic tribute weekend with two ZERO-branded vehicles:

No. 66 Ford Mustang driven by Josh Bilicki in the Coca-Cola 600 (Sunday, May 25 at 6:00 PM ET on Amazon Prime)No. 53 Chevrolet Camaro driven by JJ Yeley in the BetMGM 300 (Saturday, May 24 at 1:00 PM ET on The CW)

Together, this high-octane campaign is bringing national visibility to a deadly disease that claims a man’s life every 15 minutes in the U.S.—and hits military Veterans at double the rate of the general population.

“This weekend isn’t just about racing—it’s about saving lives,” said Josh Bilicki. “If even one man schedules a PSA test because of this message, we’ve done our job.”

“As a 48-year-old and part of a sport deeply rooted in the Veteran community, this message really hits home,” said JJ Yeley. “We’re proud to be racing for something bigger than ourselves.”

“Prostate cancer has become too big to ignore,” said Courtney Bugler, President and CEO of ZERO Prostate Cancer. “More than 3 million men in the U.S. are living with this disease, and too many don’t even know they’re at risk—especially our Veterans. Memorial Day is about honoring those we’ve lost, and at ZERO, we’re also fighting to save the ones still here.”

This campaign aligns with ZERO’s bold initiative to save 100,000 lives by 2035, with targeted efforts toward Veterans, Black men, and rural communities—the populations most impacted by the disease.

“It’s time to race toward solutions,” said Daniele Paone, VP US, GYN/GU Cancer Franchise, AstraZeneca. “We’re proud to team up with ZERO and the motorsports community to drive awareness where it’s urgently needed.”

For nearly 30 years, ZERO has been on the front lines of the prostate cancer fight, providing education, support, and advocacy to patients and families. This Memorial Day, from Indy to Charlotte, the message is unmistakable: know your risk, talk to your doctor and get screened.

Watch the Races Live:
