Hosting the Olympic Games requires large-scale construction and preparation work. The construction of venues and the improvement of infrastructure all require a large amount of material and technical support. This provides a broad market for cross-border trade. Companies in many countries have achieved cross-border exports of products and services by participating in the construction of Olympic projects. For example, during the preparations for the Sochi Winter Olympics and the Tokyo Olympics, construction materials and engineering equipment from different countries were brought together through cross-border trade.

During the Olympic Games, a large number of tourists flocked to the host city, driving local tourism, catering, accommodation and other consumption. In order to meet the needs of tourists, many specialty products need to be imported from all over the world.
