What Pony Testing International Group does

Pony Testing International Group (谱尼测试集团, SZSE: 300887) is a Beijing-headquartered, publicly listed third-party testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) group founded in 2002 with 5,001–10,000 employees and operations across more than nine Chinese cities. The company provides laboratory testing services across 20+ categories including food and beverage safety, agricultural product testing, pharmaceutical and biomedical CRO/CDMO services, medical device testing, clinical pathology and genetic testing, toxicology and animal studies, cosmetics safety and efficacy, environmental and marine ecology monitoring, radiation and occupational health, automotive and new energy vehicle battery testing, consumer goods and textiles, software evaluation and cybersecurity, and special equipment inspection. Core technology relies on accredited physicochemical, biological, and instrumental methods (GC, LC, GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, high-resolution GC-HRMS) backed by CMA, CNAS, CATL, ISO 17025, and ISO 17020 accreditations and participation in drafting national standards such as GB/T 47305-2026 and RoHS/IEC62321.

The business operates a multi-channel go-to-market model combining direct enterprise sales for large pharmaceutical, automotive, and government contracts with a self-serve online ordering platform and national hotline (400-819-5688) for standardized test packages priced from ¥530 to ¥8,215. Revenue is generated across five streams: per-test laboratory services, CRO/CDMO project contracts for pharma, medical laboratory services, certification/consulting/training, and inspection/verification/audit work. Customer segments include food and beverage manufacturers, pharmaceutical and biomedical companies, government and environmental agencies, cosmetics manufacturers, automotive and EV manufacturers, and healthcare providers. The group has wholly-owned subsidiaries including Inner Mongolia Pony Testing Technology (A-class credit rated in 2026) and Xi'an Chadwick Radiation Technology (medical CT and X-ray performance testing, with Class A radiation construction project assessment qualification).

Financially, Pony Testing peaked in 2022 at approximately ¥5.45B revenue but has contracted sharply since: ~¥3.48B in 2023, ~¥2.11B in 2024, and ~¥1.95B in 2025. The company posted net losses in 2024 (~¥488M) and 2025 (~¥352M) after profitable years in 2021–2023, and enterprise value has roughly halved from its 2022 level. Despite the decline, the company continues to invest in new verticals (EV battery testing, carbon neutrality/ESG services, software/cybersecurity) and regional consolidation (Shandong HQ, Inner Mongolia subsidiary growth), suggesting an active strategic repositioning around policy-driven demand in new energy, environmental compliance, and dual-carbon regulation.
