However, whether it is the evolution of the sports industry structure in western developed countries or domestic development of sports industry during post-industrialization period, the optimization of the structure for sports industry does not mean that the sports goods manufacturing industry is shifting to the sports service industry. The decline in the proportion of the output value of the sports goods manufacturing industry is the result of innovation, which has produced the phenomenon of Baumer’s paradox. The implementation of the catch-up development strategy of the sports industry structure overemphasizes the proportion of the output value of the sports service industry, which is not conducive to the prosperity of the sports market, weakens the dominant role of the sports leading industry, boosts the risk of "removing the real to the virtual" of production factors, prompts the self-circulation of industry, and the emergence of "structural traps" has been also generated, that are not conducive to the implementation of the high-quality development theme of the "14th Five-Year Plan" proposed by the central government. During the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the focus of the optimization and development of the structure for sports industry should also be sports services, especially the development of the main industry. However, there is no objection to continuing to strengthen the strength of domestic sports goods manufacturing industry, and deviations in the optimization path of the structure for sports industry when it is suggested to greatly improve the proportion of services in sports.
