Why the smaller province earns more
Each Lamphun company books 22.09 million baht on average. Each Lampang company books 7.38 million baht. Lamphun's figure is 2.99 times higher. It is also 2.72 times the Chiang Mai figure. Against Phrae it is 2.49 times, and against Nan 2.93 times. The registry does not say why, because the province table holds only counts and revenue. A pattern like this usually means a small number of very large filers is lifting the total, so the average is not what a typical company earns. Lampang looks like the reverse case, a broad base of registrations that each report modest sales. Neither province is large nationally. Lampang holds 0.10 percent of reported national revenue and Lamphun holds 0.20 percent.
Why this matters
A company count is a headcount of registrations, not a measure of economic weight. Anyone sizing a market in the upper north who ranks provinces by number of firms will put Lampang ahead and miss that Lamphun's firms report twice the money. A supplier, lender or retailer should ask which companies drive the total before choosing a territory. In Lamphun the answer may be a short list of big accounts. In Lampang it may be a long tail of small ones. Those are two different sales jobs on neighbouring roads.
Definitions
- Registered company
- A juristic person listed in the DBD registry with its registered address in the province, whether or not it has filed financial statements.
- Revenue per company
- Total province revenue divided by the number of registered companies in that province.
- Aggregate
- A total or ratio computed across all companies in a group rather than an average of individual company figures.
Assumptions
- Only companies that filed a financial statement contribute revenue, while all registered companies count in the denominator.
- A company is assigned to the province of its registered address, which may differ from where it operates.
- Revenue is a total for the most recent filings in the registry and is not a single-year figure for every company.
- The data cannot show whether a few large companies drive the Lamphun total.
Methodology
Company counts and revenue come from the Department of Business Development registry as aggregated by Max Data for each province, with the province table computed on 17 July 2026. Revenue is the sum of revenue reported in filed financial statements for companies registered in the province, so companies that have not filed add to the count but not to revenue. Revenue per company divides province revenue by all registered companies, including those with no filing, so it is a conservative average and an estimate of typical scale, not a median.
How we verified this
- Revenue ratio recomputed: 157,471,108,320.62 divided by 76,509,878,008.58 equals 2.058, shown as 2.06.
- Company count ratio recomputed: 10,371 divided by 7,129 equals 1.455, shown as 1.45, and the gap 10,371 minus 7,129 equals 3,242.
- Lamphun has 31 percent fewer companies: 3,242 divided by 10,371 equals 31.3 percent.
- Revenue per company recomputed: Lampang 76,509,878,008.58 divided by 10,371 equals 7,377,290 baht, shown as 7.38 million. Lamphun 157,471,108,320.62 divided by 7,129 equals 22,088,807 baht, shown as 22.09 million.
- Per-company multiple recomputed: 22,088,807 divided by 7,377,290 equals 2.99. Against neighbours: 22,088,807 over 8,113,673 is 2.72, over 8,858,477 is 2.49, over 7,526,583 is 2.93.
