What the numbers show
Wyoming’s 231,358 records place it 41st nationally, 0.4% of the U.S. total, and 52nd for large employers. That large-employer rank is well below its rank by records: its business base is weighted toward small companies. Activity clusters in its largest metros — Cheyenne, Sheridan and Casper alone account for 54.5% of the state’s records — and its industry mix is close to the national average. For buyers and sellers, that means the deepest pools of suppliers sit in a handful of cities and sectors; the charts above link straight into each so you can shortlist by capability and region.

Figures count records in Factur’s U.S. business directory as of July 2026, classified by city and primary industry using NAICS/SIC codes. Records cover manufacturers, suppliers and businesses of all sizes. They are not a count of unique companies: one company can have several records (for example one per department or location), and some records are duplicates. That affects large companies most, so treat raw totals as an upper bound and rely on the ranks, shares and comparisons, which it affects much less. These are directory totals, not official census figures. Percentages are computed against the Wyoming directory total; size shares use records with a known employee count. Data compiled by Factur, a sales and marketing firm for B2B manufacturers.
