Undertaking projects from sibling companies is an important means of expanding the scale of property management companies. Leading companies such as Poly Property Services Co., Ltd. and Wanwu Yunjian Space Technology Services Co., Ltd. will add over 1.5 million square meters of managed area with the support of their parent and associated companies. Relying on the development of associated real estate companies, the stability of the growth of property service companies’ managed area is effectively guaranteed.
According to Zhongzheng's data monitoring, there were no merger and acquisition cases in July 2024, which may be related to the current market environment and corporate strategic adjustments. Under uncertain market conditions and fierce industry competition, property service companies may consider capital operations such as mergers and acquisitions more cautiously to avoid the risks of blind expansion. At the same time, companies may also focus more on improving internal management and service quality to respond to market challenges.
