For the seventh year in a row, Direct Selling News honored the 100 largest direct selling companies in the world with the unveiling of the DSN Global 100 list at a special celebration.

North America is among the largest direct selling markets in the world, and DSN is once again celebrating the companies with headquarters in this market with the 2nd annual North America 50 List.

This marks the seventh year for the Global 100 list of top direct selling companies in the world, and we would not be Direct Selling News if we did not continually strive to raise the bar.

Since 2004 Direct Selling News has been dedicated to telling stories focused on relating the opportunities direct sellers provide to millions of independent business owners around the globe.

The economic outlook for 2016 remains strong among the largest publicly traded direct selling companies, despite some declines.

In the lead up to the 2016 Olympic Games, coming to Rio de Janeiro this summer, health supplements maker Herbalife has signed on as official nutrition sponsor of four National Olympic Committees.
