Largest MLM Companies in the World: Size, Age and Markets
The largest MLM companies in the world are usually ranked by annual revenue, and rankings differ depending on whether they count only direct-selling product sales or also service companies. Here is how to read the lists, using Direct Selling News’ 2026 Global 100.
Key facts
- #1 product company (DSN Global 100, 2026): Amway, $7.3B in sales
- #1 service company: eXp, $4.8B
- List coverage: 59 companies, about $63B combined (DSN)
- Industry size (WFDSA 2024): $163.9B retail sales, 104.3M representatives
How Size Is Measured
Rankings rely on reported or estimated annual sales and often differ by methodology. Direct Selling News publishes its Global 100 list each year. Revenue is not the same as participant earnings; read how to read an income disclosure statement to see what typical members earn.
Biggest Network Marketing Companies by Revenue
According to DSN’s 2026 Global 100, Amway leads direct-selling product companies at $7.3 billion, and eXp leads service companies at $4.8 billion. For a broader list see our top direct selling companies 2026 page and the top 500 direct selling companies overview.
Size, Age and Markets
Large companies tend to be decades old and sell across many countries. Size does not indicate whether a business is a good fit for a participant, and it does not mean regulators have no concerns: the FTC announced a proposed $225 million settlement with Amway in September 2026. See our Amway FTC settlement coverage.
How to Use Rankings Wisely
Treat rankings as a snapshot. Compare them with the global picture in WFDSA global statistics and always check a company’s income disclosure.
Key Takeaways
- Amway leads DSN’s 2026 product list at $7.3B.
- Revenue is not participant income.
- Methodologies differ between lists.
- Size does not remove regulatory risk.
