The Biggest Companies in the World in 2022

View the high-resolution of the infographic by clicking here.

This year has been shaped by uncomfortable macroeconomic headwinds.

Trillions of dollars were erased in public company market capitalizations, investor confidence waned, and cost pressures squeezed consumer pocketbooks.

Taken together, many of the world’s largest companies experienced sharp declines in market share. Still, a few companies in key sectors had positive growth over the year.

As 2022 comes to a close, the above infographic shows the biggest companies in the world, using data from Companiesmarketcap.com.

The World’s Largest Public Companies in 2022

Today, Apple stands as the world’s most valuable company, towering at a $2.3 trillion valuation.

Despite the tech downturn of 2022—driven by rising interest rates and slower sales—Apple maintained its top spot. This was largely thanks to record revenues and healthy consumer demand for iPhones, which drive about half of its total revenue.

Following Apple is Microsoft. Unlike Apple, Microsoft has faced slower earnings over the year due to lower demand for personal computers and the weighing impact of a strong U.S. dollar. Overall, about 50% of the company’s sales take place overseas.

As we show below, there are now only four companies left in the trillion dollar market cap club.

*As of Dec 12, 2022.

Oil giant Saudi Aramco is the third largest publicly-traded company globally, at $1.8 trillion. It’s also the only non-U.S. company in the top 10.

In May, the state-run company briefly became the most valuable company on the planet as soaring energy prices boosted earnings. Saudia Arabia is the largest exporter of oil in the world, and the country’s economy is forecast to grow 7.6% in 2022—one of the fastest globally.

Overall, 62 companies of the 100 largest are headquartered in the U.S., 11 are based in China, and five are located in France.

Top 10 Performance in 2022

For many of the world’s largest companies, 2022 was a brutal year for performance.

Chat showing 10 Biggest Companies in the World 2022 Performance

As the above graphic shows, the vast majority of the world’s titans saw their market values decline. Half of these companies saw double-digit drops.

Tesla has witnessed nearly 70% of its market cap being erased this year. Two main factors are behind this drop: falling demand, especially in China, and CEO Elon Musk’s volatile and risky acquisition of Twitter.

On the other hand, UnitedHealth Group has seen the strongest performance among the top 10.

The company, which rakes in a large share of its earnings from employer-backed insurance plans, said that recessionary impacts had not yet begun materializing in 2022.

Biggest Companies in the World, by Sector

Even with sinking market values across the sector in 2022, tech remains dominant.

Among the world’s biggest companies, 20 are in tech, spanning a combined market value of $9.2 trillion. For perspective, that’s about 31% of the market value of the 100 largest companies.

Rank Sector Combined Market Value Number of Companies Biggest Company in Sector
1 👩‍💻 Technology $9.2T 20 Apple
2 🚗 Consumer Discretionary $4.7T 17 Amazon
3 🩺 Health Care $4.3T 17 UnitedHealth Group
4 🛢️ Energy $3.4T 8 Saudi Aramco
5 💵 Financials $3.0T 14 Berkshire Hathaway
6 🏭 Industrials $1.8T 9 Visa
7 🥫 Consumer Staples $1.8T 7 Procter & Gamble
8 📞 Telecommunications $841B 5 Cisco
9 ⛏️ Basic Materials $326B 2 Linde
10 🔌 Utilities $127B 1 Nextera Energy

Companies are classified according to the FTSE Russell Industry Classification Benchmark. *As of Dec 12, 2022.

Consumer discretionary and health care sectors fall next in line, with big players such as Amazon and Johnson & Johnson among their ranks.

At the other end of the spectrum is utilities, the smallest sector overall at least pertaining to the largest companies list. NextEra Energy, the sole utilities company among the rankings is one of the world’s largest developers of wind and solar energy. Over the next three years, it plans to invest up to $95 billion in greening its power operations.

Change of Fortune

It comes as no surprise that many of the biggest companies in the world are long-established players in global markets.

Yet within the rankings, some of the notable risers compared to 2021 are UnitedHealth Group, which launched from #19 in 2021 to #8 this year and NVIDIA which has climbed to become the 11th largest company globally, up from #24 last year.

By contrast, some of the biggest losers are Meta (Facebook’s parent company) and Alibaba. Meta has fallen across the rankings to #26 in 2022 from #6 in 2021. Meanwhile, Alibaba was once the ninth largest globally but has tumbled to #36. Both companies have seen considerable value wiped from their market caps—roughly 66% and 28%, respectively​​—amid lagging earnings.

With the year coming to a close, it remains to be seen whether the world’s biggest companies stage a comeback in 2023, or face more challenging conditions ahead.

As proven by this list of the 20 biggest companies in the world, which have graced the Fortune 500 list for many years, even record downturns such as the COVID-19 pandemic barely scratch the surface of these powerful behemoths.

The largest companies offer other benefits for jobhunters as well. The breadth of these businesses means opportunities in a wide variety of fields and at varying experience levels. The number of departments and positions provides room for advancement, and the international scope means you can reap the benefits of working abroad.

So, let’s take a look at the top 20 biggest companies across the globe.

20. Industrial & Commercial Bank of China

Industrial And Commercial Bank Of China

2021 revenues: $182.8 billion

With 2021 profits over $45 billion and assets topping 5 trillion, the ICBC ranks yet again as the largest lender in the world.

For over a century, Royal Dutch Shell has been a major player in all aspects of the oil and gas industry. This international entity has 87,000 employees and operates in 100 countries, with Shell USA being one of its largest revenue-generators. Despite profit losses across the sector, Shell’s forward-thinking strategies, which include a pledge for net zero emissions by 2050, a 2022 streamlined name change (Shell plc) and a move from The Netherlands to the more tax-friendly England, should keep the company prosperous.

18. BP

BP petrol station

2021 revenues: $183.5 billion

It’s a testament to the size and profitability of London’s oil and gas behemoth that a 600% loss in profits still didn’t stop the company from ranking in the top 20. BP operates over 1200 filling stations in the UK, and over 6000 in the US. Its 68,000 employees work across refining, service, technology and other divisions in 70 countries worldwide.

The company provides a wealth of opportunity for a range of pharmaceutical jobs, with 42,000 employees in over 50 countries.

16. Ping An Insurance

2021 revenues: $191.5 billion

Experts expect China to rule the world’s economy in the not-so-distant future, and companies like Ping An are the reason why. The Shenzhen-based health, home and life insurance company serves hundreds of millions of customers. They’re also a technology leader, with 600 million digital users and a division of Smart City products that utilizes personal and public technology for advanced city-wide data analytics.

2021 revenues: $283.7 billion

3. Amazon

2021 revenues: $386.1 billion

Just as its founder, Jeff Bezos, became the richest person in the world, the pandemic hit, and his e-retail empire surged in sales and subsequent profits. Although the entrepreneurial icon stepped away from Amazon’s day-to-day operations in 2021, the company continues to capitalize on multiple fronts.

A price hike on Amazon’s Prime delivery and on-demand entertainment business, coupled with the climb to over 200 million subscribers worldwide, contributes heavily to the company’s profitability.

In response to criticism of work conditions at its distribution warehouses, Amazon has increased wages and benefits for employees, and remains a powerhouse employer with nearly 1.5 million workers worldwide.

2. State Grid Corporation of China

2021 revenues: $386.6 billion

China’s state-owned electric utility provider, State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) has faced the same devastating combo of pandemic-related profit loss and government pressure for reduced carbon emissions. Despite the difficulties, SGCC still has substantial profits from serving over a billion utility customers in China as well as stakes in international utilities including the Philippines, Australia, Italy and Brazil. The company’s commitment to pursue cleaner energy means a future increase in environmental jobs in addition to the 896,360 workers already employed.

1. Walmart

2021 revenues: $559.2 billion

More than half of Walmart’s 2.3 million employees work at its 5,342 retail and discount superstores in the US. The rest of its staff are based at their international locations in over 20 countries, including 400 retail outlets each in Canada and China.

Founder Sam Walton believed good service and lower prices could help improve people’s lives, and that mission has expanded most notably with the powerful company negotiating affordable drug prices for its customers. With revenues still miles ahead of the runner-up of this list, Amazon, Walmart looks to preserve its lead by investing further in store technology, grocery delivery and its online store.

Final thoughts

As you can see, the biggest companies in the world span several industries, including oil and gas, banking, and automotive. Unsurprisingly, Chinese businesses take up several slots on the list, but the US retail giant Walmart continues to reign supreme in a combination of profits, assets and employment opportunities.

Jobseekers should consider the multiple benefits of working for large companies, including job stability, career development possibilities, and the ability to work internationally.
