Sportswear giant Anta Sportswear Group, an official partner to the Chinese Olympic Committee, designed Team China's podium uniforms for Tokyo.

The results of an Olympic "mindshare" brand marketing survey just released by a leading research institution show Anta in the lead over other brands, with a 40 percent share among customers.

In the first half of this year, Anta launched a new brand concept inspired by the Olympics. The company said it has frequently interacted with consumers on national mainstream media and social network platforms, winning more than 10 billion brand views.

Working with the Chinese Olympic Committee for 16 years, Anta has invested more than 3 billion yuan ($460 million) in the research and development of sportswear technology and has vowed to add 4 billion yuan to this sector.

Based in Xiamen, Fujian province, the company has provided sportswear products for 28 Chinese teams competing at Olympic Games. It has developed advanced technologies to manufacture equipment for 10 teams representing China, including shoes and a waist support system for weightlifters and super-light shoes for boxers.

This year, it launched "Anta championship experience stores "in key shopping locations, attracting a wide range of consumers, according to the company. Licensed products have been introduced for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and Zhangjiakou, Hebei province. The items, which feature the Chinese national flag, attract buyers with "medium and high consumption capacity", paving the way for the company to open more such stores.
