DigiPlus Interactive Corp. secured the top position in the Philippines’ Growth Champions 2026 ranking after recording the highest revenue expansion among qualified firms from 2021 to 2024. The annual list identifies 50 Philippine companies that delivered the strongest percentage growth in revenues during the three-year period.

The ranking is a joint project of Germany-based research firm Statista and the Philippine Daily Inquirer. For the 2026 edition, Statista reviewed revenue data from more than 200 public companies in the Philippines and applied standardized currency conversions and verified datasets to ensure comparability. Executives certified submitted figures, which researchers cross-checked against public records before finalizing the results. The 2026 list marks the sixth run of the Growth Champions ranking, during which thousands of companies were screened.

Revenue Surge Secures Top Spot

DigiPlus reported revenues of PHP2.81 billion in 2021, rising to PHP75.22 billion in 2024. That performance translated to a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 199.29 percent over the three-year span. The company’s absolute growth rate reached 2,580.83 percent during the same period.

To qualify for inclusion in the 2026 ranking, companies needed to generate at least PHP5 million in revenues in 2021 and PHP30 million in 2024. The minimum CAGR required to enter the list was 5.37 percent. Statista also evaluated independence and organic growth criteria as part of its screening process.

DigiPlus improved its standing from the previous year, when it placed third. Its rise to the top reflects rapid expansion in the country’s online gaming and digital entertainment sector.

The company operates several gaming platforms, including BingoPlus, GamePlus, ArenaPlus, and GameZone. Its growth trajectory mirrors increasing consumer engagement with digital entertainment offerings in the Philippines between 2021 and 2024.

Chairman Highlights Innovation and Safeguards

DigiPlus Chairman Eusebio Tanco welcomed the recognition. “Being recognized as a top Statista Growth Champion is an honor and a testament to what we have built for our players, partners, and communities—from pioneering digital entertainment in the Philippines to emerging as a market leader committed to responsible, long-term growth,” Tanco said.

He also described the company’s approach to expansion and product development.

“Our success is anchored in the belief that innovation must be both culturally resonant and responsibly executed. We have differentiated ourselves by delivering unique, localized game experiences on secure, state-of-the-art platforms, with strong safeguards that prioritize player protection and trust,” he said. “This foundation has allowed us to help set industry standards, earn enduring loyalty, and ensure that our growth creates shared value—not just for our business, but for the communities we serve.”

DigiPlus stated that the recognition reflects its focus on disciplined expansion, product development, regulatory compliance, and player protection measures as it continues to scale operations in the Philippine market.

Sector Shifts Reflect Economic Recovery

The composition of the 2026 Growth Champions list also signals changes in the broader business environment. Earlier editions featured a concentration of companies in medical, pharmaceutical, and essential service sectors, which saw elevated demand during and immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic.

The latest ranking shows a return to patterns seen before 2020. Leisure, hospitality, digital entertainment, and consumer-oriented businesses posted stronger performances. The shift points to improving economic conditions and renewed consumer spending, particularly in lifestyle, travel, and digital engagement categories.

Statista’s methodology centered on revenue growth as the primary metric, with clear minimum thresholds and verification requirements. Companies that met the financial criteria and passed the screening process earned a place among the 50 fastest-growing firms in the country.

DigiPlus’ leading position in the 2026 edition underscores the scale of its revenue gains over the review period. Its near-200 percent CAGR distinguished it from other qualifiers and placed it at the top of this year’s ranking.
