Revenue generated from data licensing and other services also demonstrates a consistent positive trend. It grew from about 333 million US dollars in 2017 to nearly 572 million US dollars in 2021. The increases each year are relatively steady, with moderate growth rates and no abrupt changes observed. This segment represents a smaller but steadily expanding portion of the total revenue.

Total revenue exhibits a clear and robust growth trajectory over the analyzed period. From approximately 2.44 billion US dollars in 2017, total revenue climbed annually to 5.08 billion US dollars in 2021.
