Murthy Grandhi, Company Profiles Analyst at GlobalData, comments:

“Companies that were headquartered in the top 25 cities accounted for 36.8% of the aggregate revenue of the total sample size of over 40,000 companies in 2022. However, the Russia-Ukraine war, supply chain disruptions, and changing macro and geopolitical environments restricted the growth to just 5% rise in aggregate revenue of these 25 cities. In addition, the rising interest rates and looming global recession fears placed further strain on the public companies from these cities.”

Beijing, Tokyo, and New York lead in aggregated revenue

Beijing, Tokyo, and New York stood out as the leaders in aggregated revenue, while Tokyo, Toronto, and London took the top spots in terms of the number of companies among the top 25 cities.

However, all the cities were behind Seattle, San Jose, and Paris in terms of average revenue per company in 2022. Seattle reported average revenue of $13 billion per company, followed by San Jose ($8.2 billion), and Paris ($7.4 billion), whereas Beijing, Tokyo, and New York witnessed $6.7 billion, $2.1 billion, and $2.3 billion, respectively.

Interestingly, in terms of revenues, Miami witnessed significant revenue growth with 45.6%, followed by Houston (32.3%), and San Francisco (25%).

On the other hand, the Japanese cities Tokyo and Osaka witnessed a decline in revenue. Beijing overtook Tokyo in terms of aggregate revenues due to the public companies generating higher revenues in 2022 over the previous year.
