Read the composition before you use it

Betting labels dominate the mix

China nearly matches the US

Gaming is almost always the main label
Only 147,261 companies carry Gaming & Esports as an additional label, the smallest share of any of the 53 groups, so an industry filter returns firms that are mainly gaming.

Methodology

Aggregate counts from the DiscoLike index of 80M+ companies. Companies without a resolvable location are counted under 'unknown', and cells below the minimum count threshold are folded into an 'other' bucket. Industry and business-type categories overlap: a company carrying several labels is counted in each.

Updated monthly. Current snapshot: October 2026. See the full Company Index Stats.
