Summary of Findings

• In this preliminary hour of research, we were not able to find a clear list that shows the number of food and beauty/health manufacturers with over $1 billion in revenue. We found a pre-compiled list of the top food and beverage manufactures in 2020 by revenue. From it, we provided 10 of the top food manufacturers ranked by the food revenue size. We also provided information on 10 beauty manufacturers with revenues of over $1 billion based on several lists. Due to time constraints, we were not able to provide more companies in the requested categories.
• In compiling a list of food manufacturers we considered all food companies including those that produce food ingredients like glucose syrup as is the case with Cargill.
• In the beauty and health category, our understanding of health manufacturers are companies that manufacture medical goods, such as drugs and medical devices; while beauty manufacturers include companies that manufacture cosmetics/make-up, skin care and hair care products.
• We have assumed a global focus. If a more targeted approach is desired, for example, the U.S., this would have to be clearly communicated to us.
