Meta Platforms has experienced a rollercoaster ride over the past decade, navigating highs and lows, yet consistently finding ways to grow its business. According to data from AltIndex.com, the company achieved a remarkable 1,200% revenue increase in the last ten years, surpassing the growth of some of the largest tech giants.
Meta’s revenue growth is double that of Amazon, three times that of Alphabet, and an astounding ten times the growth seen by Apple during the same period. This impressive surge highlights Meta’s resilience and ability to outperform even the most formidable players in the tech industry.
Meta’s Revenue Growth Surpasses Amazon, Alphabet, and Apple Combined
Meta’s explosive growth over the past decade is impressive even by the tech industry standards, proving it is one of the most resilient players in the tech industry. After consistent growth in its early years, driven by its dominance in digital advertising, the company faced its first major storm between 2016 and 2019.
Privacy concerns, regulatory scrutiny, and scandals like the 2016 US election fake news and the Cambridge Analytica scandal brought a massive public backlash, forcing Meta to adjust its strategies. As a response, the company doubled down on Instagram and WhatsApp, invested heavily in AI tools to combat misinformation and hate speech, and embraced a privacy-first approach.
But the real test came three years later. The 2022 stock crash wiped out hundreds of billions in Meta’s market value. Also, after a decade of growth, the company reported its first-ever revenue drop, which led to severe cost-cutting measures and a massive wave of layoffs.
Yet, Meta made a comeback again. By 2024, the company reported a record $164.5 billion in revenue, 22% more than a year before, and a jaw-dropping 1,200% increase over a decade, way more than other tech giants. In comparison, Amazon, the top-grossing tech giant, saw only half of Meta’s growth, with its revenue surging by 616% in a decade. Alphabet grew by 430%, Microsoft by 182%, and Apple by only 113%, six to ten times less than Meta.
Meta’s 10-Year Stock Value Gain Hit 880%, Despite 2025 Tech Sell-Off
Meta’s ability to monetize its massive user base hasn’t just boosted its profit. It also earned investor confidence, driving explosive stock growth. In 2014, the company’s stock value amounted to $216.6 billion. Since then, this figure has skyrocketed by more than 880%, with Meta adding more than $1.2 trillion to its stock value in a decade. This jaw-dropping increase came despite a major setback in 2025, when the broader tech sell-off caused Meta’s stock to plunge by 20%, erasing nearly $400 billion in just 30 days.
Despite this sharp dip, Meta’s 10-year performance remains far ahead of most tech giants. For instance, Alphabet’s stock value grew by 436% in this period, less than half of Meta’s gains. Apple also saw smaller growth, with its stock value growing by 600% in a decade. Amazon is the only tech giant that outpaced Meta, with a 1244% surge in a decade.
