The Tokyo Olympics has set off a shopping boom! Sales of large-screen TVs and skateboards continue to grow...

At 19:00 on the evening of July 23rd, Beijing time , the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Summer Olympics, which was delayed by a year, was finally officially held. Athletes from more than 200 countries and regions around the world gathered together to share peace and compete fairly.

As the host of this Olympics, how did Japan welcome the Olympics? Due to the impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, the government initially advocated that people work from home. After people spent a lot more time at home, they learned about news and entertainment through large-screen TVs, and the high-definition picture quality is of course much better than mobile phones and laptops.

In addition, since the Olympics are generally closed to spectators, large-screen TVs have played a unique role in providing a visual experience. The Japanese government even recently issued a 100,000 yen (about 6,000 yuan) epidemic subsidy to citizens to buy large-screen TVs.

What is different from previous years is that five events are making their debut in this Olympics , namely skateboarding, surfing, competitive rock climbing, baseball and softball, and karate. I believe that the wonderful performances of the Olympic athletes will present a wonderful visual feast for the people of the world.

The atmosphere of the Olympic Games was high, which attracted the audience and set off an unstoppable sports craze. Skateboarding, as an extreme sport loved by young people, has moved from the streets to the Olympic Games, enriching the competition events and attracting and promoting more young people to participate.

Since the opening of the Olympic Games, Google searches have shown that global searches for skateboarding have been rising sharply since July 23, with people in Northern Europe, North America and Australia showing great interest in skateboarding .

According to AliExpress data, the number of roller skates and skateboards on the platform has doubled year-on-year, and the sales volume and number of buyers have increased by 50% year-on-year . Among them, the sales of roller skates increased by more than 10 times year-on-year, and the sales of roller skate helmets increased by more than 200% year-on-year.

As a major skateboard producer, China's export volume is also rising year by year. Although the unit price of new electric skateboards is as high as over US$500, their growth is very rapid.

TeamGee, a domestic brand specializing in electric skateboards, just entered AliExpress in May this year, and it topped the category ranking in July. The market demand in developed countries such as North America, Australia, and Western Europe is very strong.

Of course, the sports craze that has swept the world is not just about skateboarding. Sellers should also keep an eye on the hot-selling products and not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...
