The two largest companies in this graphic, Microsoft and Apple, have regularly swapped places as the world’s most valuable company over the past decade.

Both companies are integrating artificial intelligence into their product offerings, which has helped fuel their market cap growth in recent years.

Next, let’s take a closer look at some of the non-U.S. companies in this graphic.

International Holding Company (IHC), based in Abu Dhabi, has rapidly become one of the Middle East’s most valuable firms with a market capitalization of $240 billion.

Originally a fishing company, IHC has transformed into a conglomerate with investments across healthcare, agriculture, real estate, and artificial intelligence. This includes a $50M investment in Elon Musk’s SpaceX.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) holds a market cap of almost $1 trillion, making it the most valuable company in Asia. As the world’s largest dedicated semiconductor foundry, TSMC manufactures chips for major names like Apple, Nvidia, and AMD.

Tencent, with a market cap of nearly $600 billion, remains one of China’s most influential tech companies despite regulatory headwinds.

The company is best known for its WeChat platform, but is also involved in gaming, cloud services, fintech, and even original content production. Through its Tencent Video platform, which has over 120 million paid subscribers, the company produces a variety of dramas, shows, and animations.
