The 2024 Global market capitalisation

  • Apple leads the global market with $3.863 trillion market capitalisation, followed closely by Nvidia at $3.355 trillion and Microsoft at $3.200 trillion.
  • Tesla ($1.385T) remains the most valuable automobile company, far ahead of traditional car manufacturers.
  • The highest-ranked non-tech company, Saudi Aramco, stands at $1.805 trillion.
  • Other trillion-dollar companies span industries such as finance (Berkshire Hathaway – $0.984T) and media (Meta – $1.514T).

The rankings show that while technology companies dominate, industries like energy, finance, media, and automobiles still hold significant market value. The presence of Saudi Aramco, Berkshire Hathaway, Meta, Tesla, and TSMC on the trillion-dollar companies list displays the continued influence of these sectors on the global economy.
