Are they? We can't know how many planets they have, how many battlesuits they have, how many firewarriors they have, or how all those things compare to the Imperium's tech. All we have are vague notions. Battlesuits are easy to produce and are frequently referenced as being 'mass produced', even the bigger expensive ones, which would suggest there are more of them than Space Marines. They are frequently referenced as being 'smaller' than the Imperium, which would suggest they have fewer planets, though we don't know how many. They are advancing and expanding 'rapidly', though we don't know specifically what that means for when they'll catch up in terms of power or where they might be behind. They have less manpower, though we don't know how much less.
