Testing & certification firm secures funding has been gaining momentum. Data shows that in Q3, new launches increased yoy by 12.6%, and industry attention is clearly rising. This piece breaks down three things practitioners should watch using public information and platform data.
Supply-side changes are equally visible. One Leaf’s layout in Beijing, together with pricing from new entrants, is driving this round of adjustment — and concentration is moving with it.
Two signals stand out from One Leaf’s latest moves: resources keep concentrating at the top, while incremental markets like Beijing gain bargaining power.
| Metric | Value | Note |

| Core metric | 12.6% | Q3 data |
| Brand to watch | One Leaf | Beijing market |
