Concentration

Customer, supplier, or partner concentration exposures that can distort the supply network.

Foundry

Low

Not applicable — HUYA is a digital platform with no hardware manufacturing dependencies

Customer

Critical

HUYA is highly dependent on Tencent for ownership control (67.3% equity, 95.4% voting power), game content licensing, cloud infrastructure, payment processing, and user acquisition channels. Any change in Tencent's strategic priorities poses existential risk.

Other

High

Content creator concentration — top streamers have significant bargaining power; loss of key streamers could erode user base. Revenue-sharing costs (RMB 4.87B) represent ~75% of total net revenue, indicating heavy dependence on a fragmented supplier base of individual content creators.

Equipment

Low
