According to these 30 items by the Shanghai Municipal Government, the gross output of the city’s sports industry should reach around CNY200bn by 2020, making it the leader in China; by 2025, the gross output should be around CNY400bn, becoming one of the world leading cities with an advanced sports industry; by 2035, the sports industry should reach a level that matches the world-leading city.
There are five major points in the growth of the Shanghai sports industry: to speed up the building of Shanghai as an international capital of sports events, to increase the power and capacity of the fitness and recreational sector, to better the sports services sector, to create an international sports trading center and finally, to upgrade capabilities for sports equipment research and manufacturing.

However, the government says the industry is still at an initial stage in general. To assist the growth of the industry, Shanghai has outlined policy supports in areas such as financial, taxes, lands, and professional workforce.
