Phetchabun vs Loei: Company Count and Revenue in 2026

Phetchabun does, and on both measures. It holds 6,626 registered companies to Loei's 4,793 (DBD, 2026). Its companies report 72.71 billion baht of revenue to Loei's 50.95 billion. The two provinces are neighbours of similar rank, so it looks like a close call. It is not. Phetchabun leads by 1,833 firms and by 21.76 billion baht of revenue. The more interesting result is what happens when you divide. Revenue per registered company is 10.97 million baht in Phetchabun and 10.63 million in Loei, a gap of only about three percent. Phetchabun is bigger, but its firms are barely richer.

Phetchabun holds 0.333 percent of Thailand's companies and 0.091 percent of its revenue. Loei holds 0.241 percent of companies and 0.064 percent of revenue. The revenue share is well under a third of the company share in both cases. Nationally, revenue per registered company is 40.28 million baht, so each province sits at roughly a quarter of the national figure. Bangkok alone holds 812,799 companies and 50.5 trillion baht, which is why the national average runs so far ahead of the provinces. Between these two neighbours the story is simple. Phetchabun separates itself by head count, and revenue follows that head count almost one for one. Loei is the smaller twin, not the sharper one.

A supplier, lender or retailer choosing between the two provinces should treat the decision as one about volume. Phetchabun offers about 38 percent more companies to call on, and the typical revenue per firm is nearly identical. A sales team in Loei would not find a richer customer base to make up for the smaller one. Nor would it find a poorer one. For anyone building a provincial map of Thai business, the pair is a useful reminder that a small gap in revenue per company can hide a large gap in scale.
