Coupang Inc, the parent company of Coupang, ranked No. 132 on the Fortune 500 list compiled by the U.S. business magazine Fortune, the company said Tuesday.

Coupang Inc made the list for the fourth consecutive year this year, climbing 10 spots from No. 142 last year. After first appearing at No. 195 in 2023, its ranking has risen steadily. The Fortune 500 ranks the largest U.S. companies by total revenue each year. This year's ranking was based on annual revenue for 2025. Coupang posted revenue of $34.5 billion last year, up 14% from the previous year.

Coupang Inc said it "provides business operations and support services in 190 countries and regions, including the United States and Korea, as well as Taiwan, Singapore, India, Japan and Europe." The company added that it "applies artificial intelligence (AI) across its business to set new standards for the speed and quality of online services, and helps companies in the United States and other countries secure overseas customers."

In particular, the company cited preemptive large-scale investment in AI, robotics and cloud computing as a key growth driver. It explained that, based on its in-house developed "Coupang Intelligent Cloud (CIC)," it applies AI across its logistics network to pursue demand forecasting, fulfillment efficiency and optimization of cross-regional delivery networks.

Through this, the company plans to accelerate its overseas business expansion. Coupang significantly strengthened its local infrastructure this year by opening its fourth smart fulfillment and logistics center in Taiwan. It is providing "Rocket Delivery," a seven-days-a-week next-day delivery service, to approximately 70% of areas across Taiwan.

Robert Porter, Chief Global Affairs Officer (CGAO) of Coupang Inc, said, "Coupang is redefining global commerce by closing the gap between businesses and customers around the world." He added, "We will continue working to create unprecedented opportunities for businesses in Korea, the United States, Taiwan and Japan, and for customers in all 190 markets."
