Thailand and Indonesia lead the list when it comes to the number of companies, with 105 and 104 firms on the list respectively. The two countries have switched places compared to last year\u2019s ranking with 109 Indonesian companies and 100 Thai companies.<\/p>\n

Singapore has just 82 companies on the list, putting it in fourth place. But measure by revenue, and the country\u2019s footprint gets much larger. Singaporean companies on this year\u2019s ranking generated $657.6 billion in 2025 revenue, 35% of the total $1.88 trillion generated by all Southeast Asia 500 firms. (In second place is Thailand, with $358.2 billion in revenue).<\/p>\n

Half of the top 10 companies on the Southeast Asia 500 are headquartered in Singapore, with the No. 1 slot going to the commodity giant Trafigura, with revenue of $240.3 billion.<\/p>\n

Wilmar and Olam, ranked fourth and fifth, are agribusiness firms based in Singapore. Wilmar brought in $70.4 billion in revenue, while Olam recorded $51.5 billion, up 4.5% and 22.5% from the previous year\u2019s figures, respectively. (Olam\u2019s divestment of its food, feed and fiber business, Olam Agri, which took effect in April, could affect its ranking in next year\u2019s Southeast Asia 500 list.)<\/p>\n

Singapore is also the home of Sea, No. 12 on the ranking and the region\u2019s highest-ranked tech company.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Profits, too, are a Singapore story. Singaporean firms generated $43 billion in profits, out of a total $150 billion. That\u2019s far ahead of the country in second place, Indonesia, whose companies earned a total of $26.9 billion in profits last year.<\/p>\n
