Baden-Württemberg: SAP among the most valuable companies in the world!

Today's economic world presents an impressive picture of the most valuable companies, and Germany has done no less well. As the Frankfurt consulting firm PWC reports in its current list, three German companies are among the 100 most valuable companies worldwide. This survey, published on June 10, 2025, confirms the brilliant performance of the German economy in international comparison.

The dominance of the USA cannot be overlooked: 58 of the 100 companies come from the United States and make up a whopping 73 percent of the total market value, which amounts to a remarkable $31.1 trillion. The best-known names in the top 10 are Apple, Microsoft and NVIDIA. Apple tops the rankings with a market value of $3.337 trillion, followed by Microsoft with $2.791 trillion and NVIDIA with $2.644 trillion. In international competition, however, it is noteworthy that Germany rose from 12th place to 8th place in the country rankings - a positive signal in times of economic challenges, as PWC emphasizes.

The most valuable German companies

If you look at the list of the most valuable German companies, SAP is ahead. The company maintained its position at number 31 worldwide and number 2 in Europe, improving by 16 places. Deutsche Telekom follows in 73rd place, having improved by a remarkable 52 places compared to the previous year. Siemens made it to 74th place and was also able to climb 17 places. These two telecommunications and technology companies are ahead of the Walt Disney Company, which ranks 75th. In total, the three German companies have a total market value of $668 billion, which underlines the competitiveness of the German economy.
