83:’s proprietary database of commercially-active U.S. firms define middle market businesses as those companies with revenues between $ 10 million and $ 1 billion per year. The definition is defined in reference to small businesses, which earn less than $ 10 million in annual revenue, and big business, which earn at least $ 1 billion in revenues and are generally the smallest eligible for a credit rating by one of the "major" credit-rating agencies. Investopedia considers middle market firms to be those with sizable annual revenues, ranging from $ 50 million to $ 1 billion, which straddle the market between smaller companies and billion-dollar giants.
122:, across the UK, Germany, France and Italy (the EU-4), the mid-market represents a relatively small number of companies (ranging from a low of 1.2% in Germany to 1.7% in France) and yet it generates about one third of private sector revenue and employs about a third of each country's workforce. Combined, the middle market in the four European countries contributes €1.11 trillion ($ 1.48 trillion) to the EU-4 GDP. This makes the middle market in the EU-4 one of the top 10 economies in the world, ahead of India and Russia.
68:, the total revenue of all U.S. businesses in 2012 was roughly $ 32.6 trillion. The largest of these companies, which are big businesses with revenue of over $ 3 billion, make up roughly one-third of that total, and businesses with a revenue of under $ 100 million made up about another third of the total revenue. The middle market can thus be defined as the companies larger than small businesses but smaller than big businesses that account for the middle third of the U.S. economy's revenue.
