Notice how 并非 / 所致 works in: 销量下降并非市场疲软所致。
并非……所致…… means "not caused by" and follows the frame A 并非 B 所致. Use it when you need to deny B as the cause of A. These patterns are mainly used in formal argumentation, reports, essays, and analytical discussion. Keep the fixed parts complete, especially paired elements such as 不在于/而在于, 与其/不如, 宁可/也绝不, 不但没有/反而, 既非/亦非, and 所能/所致. Do not use them as loose translations; first identify whether the sentence is long-term evaluation, causal analysis, correction of focus, firm choice, contrast, insufficiency, urgency, or literary evaluation.
