4. Market Environment: Intensified competition within the industry and changes in the overall market environment may lead to a decrease in revenue, especially in the technology service industry.

Peer Comparison

1. Industry-wide Analysis: The technology service industry faced market pressure in 2024, with many companies reporting a slowdown in revenue growth, mainly due to macroeconomic uncertainties and cautious customer spending. The overall revenue level decreased, affecting the healthy development of the industry.
