Abstract
Demographic change is a fundamental characteristic of China’s demographic development. The primary problem in China’s population development has shifted in recent years from overall pressure to structural challenges. Using data from China’s seventh demographic census, this study examines the dynamics of sports consumption growth from the perspective of population structure, analyzes the characteristics of the current population structure and the current state of sports consumption development, and establishes a regression to examine the impact of population structure change trends on sports industry development. The study demonstrates that there are varying degrees of correlation between different demographic trends and the sports industry in China’s aging population: the added value per capita of the sports industry is significantly (p < 0.01), positively correlated with the proportion of the elderly population and the number of graduates from general higher education institutions. While the expansion of the sports sector continues to be positive, there are numerous issues that need to be addressed. To encourage the development of a high-quality sports industry, proactive countermeasures are proposed to adjust population policy, increase population quality, and promote the comprehensive upgrading of sports consumption.

Summary
The Chinese Communist Party’s 19th National Congress unambiguously stated the fundamental direction for China’s economic structure transformation and upgrade [1]. It is critical to identify new economic growth opportunities in light of the new economic normal and the new social development conditions. Given China’s commitment to constructing a strong, modernized socialist country, the economic functions and ideals embedded in the sports industry have elevated it to a new national economic development point that has piqued interest. What is the extent to which economic growth may be promoted? Sports academia in China is actively engaged in constructive debates regarding the development of the sports sector, and they fall into three basic groups. Theories examine the current state and trajectory of China’s sports industry from a macro perspective and establish an evaluation index system for China’s sports industry development.
