About This Dataset
Publicly Listed Companies by Country 2023China leads with 11,348 listed companies, more than double second-placed United States on 4,317 and roughly equal to the next three countries combined. Read against market capitalization the contrast is stark: China lists nearly three times as many companies as the United States yet their combined value is less than a quarter of America's, meaning the average listed Chinese firm is worth roughly a tenth of its American counterpart. Canada's 4,312 is the biggest surprise, almost matching the United States from an economy a tenth of the size, a result of Toronto's many small mining and energy listings. Asia is dominant overall, with China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia and Indonesia taking seven of the top ten.
