No audited financials are public for Analysys as of 2026. The company has not disclosed revenue, profit, or loss figures, and no independent financial reporting on the Beijing research firm was found beyond unverified aggregator estimates, which are excluded here as unconfirmed.

Could AI replace Analysys International?

Analysys's templated market reports and benchmarking are highly exposed to generative AI. Its defense is a first party mobile usage panel it claims tracks 600m+ MAU across 30,000+ apps, but rival QuestMobile already shipped an AI application tracking report on 2026-07-14, a product line Analysys has not matched.

Is QuestMobile beating Analysys International?

QuestMobile, founded by ex-iResearch staff and used by Tencent, Alibaba and ByteDance, published a 2026 H1 AI Application Market report on 2026-07-14 and a mobile game industry report on 2026-07-20. Analysys has shown no equivalent product move in the same window.

The call

A quiet, unfunded research firm sits next to a louder rival while generative AI closes in on the report business both depend on.

Analysys International is a Beijing-based company that researches mobile markets and sells reports to tech companies. Its main problem is that QuestMobile is moving faster with new products, and AI tools like ChatGPT can now generate the templated reports that Analysys sells, making those reports less valuable. The one thing that could matter is whether Analysys uses its large mobile user data (over 600 million users) to build new AI-powered tracking products in the next year, but so far it has not, while QuestMobile already has.

Why

AI pressure: Generative AI report synthesis tools. AI can already draft templated market reports, threatening the core product Analysys sells to clients. Could AI do the core job? Only partly.

Bigger players: QuestMobile. QuestMobile keeps publishing high-visibility AI and gaming market reports while Analysys shows no matching output. Could a giant copy it? Yes, easily.

What protects it. A claimed 600 million plus MAU mobile usage panel, but this data asset is unverified and not exclusive to Analysys.

What would change this call

Analysys ships an AI-market report line or product refresh within 12 months. Would show it can still compete with QuestMobile instead of stagnating.
Analysys discloses a new funding round or strategic backer by 2026. Would show investor confidence and end the funding silence since 2018.
QuestMobile continues shipping AI-tracking reports while Analysys stays silent. Would confirm Analysys is losing ground to a faster-moving direct peer.

Key numbers

~$11.7M estimated annual revenue (n.d.)

QuestMobile is outpacing Analysys on AI-market report publishing and enterprise visibility as of July 2026. Severity: medium
