Lack of talent in sporting goods industry

The shortage of talent in the sporting goods industry has become a major challenge, especially since 2014. The issue goes beyond just a lack of skilled workers; it involves a broader problem of innovation and long-term strategic thinking. Many companies in China’s sporting goods sector are small or family-run businesses, which often prioritize short-term survival over long-term growth. This mindset leads to a lack of investment in research and development, as well as limited resources for innovation. Innovation is crucial for staying competitive, but many companies focus only on product features or customer service, rather than investing in technological advancements. True innovation—such as new materials, advanced manufacturing processes, or digital integration—is rarely prioritized. According to surveys, only a small percentage of Chinese sporting goods companies actively engage in innovation, and even fewer have achieved real breakthroughs or hold patents. Most entrepreneurs are more concerned with immediate profits than with building sustainable competitive advantages. Another key factor is the educational background of many business owners. A significant number of entrepreneurs in the industry have only undergraduate degrees, and their understanding of modern business strategies, innovation management, and global market trends is limited. This lack of higher education can hinder their ability to drive meaningful change within their companies. Moreover, there is a serious shortage of high-quality talent in critical areas such as R&D, design, marketing, and management. While many companies have enough labor, they lack the specialized skills needed to develop innovative products and expand into international markets. With the growing competition from global brands, this gap in talent becomes even more apparent. Companies need professionals who understand both domestic and international markets, as well as those who can lead creative and technical developments. To address these challenges, the industry must invest in education, training, and long-term planning. Encouraging a culture of innovation and supporting the development of skilled professionals will be essential for the future growth of China’s sporting goods sector.
