The World’s Tech Giants, Compared to the Size of Economies https://www.visualcapitalist.com/the-tech-giants-worth-compared-economies-countries/ It’s no secret that tech giants have exploded in value over the last few years, but the scale can be hard to comprehend. Through wide-scaling market penetration, smart diversification, and the transformation of products into services, Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have reached market capitalizations well above $1.5 trillion. To help us better understand these staggering numbers, a recent study at Mackeeper took the market capitalization of multiple tech giants and compared them with the annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of countries. Editor’s note: While these numbers are interesting to compare, it’s worth noting that they represent different things. Market cap is the total value of shares outstanding in a publicly-traded company and gives an indication of total valuation, and GDP measures the value of all goods and services produced by a country in an entire year. Other Companies “Bigger” Than Countries Tech giants aren’t the only companies that would give countries a run for their money. Country/Company Nominal GDP (country) or Market Cap (company) United States of America $21,433 B China $14,343 B Japan $5,082 B Germany $3,861 B India $2,869 B United Kingdom $2,829 B France $2,716 B Apple $2,125 B Italy $2,004 B Microsoft $1,942 B Saudi Aramco $1,888 B
