Last year Walmart moved more than $443 billion worth of goods through its 10,000 global locations.
For hundreds of businesses, Walmart's decision to carry a product can mean increased payrolls and surging top line results.
But many have become wholly reliant on the Bentonville, Arkansas, based retailer.
Business Insider analyzed the annual filing of firms who report Walmart as an important client, limiting ourselves to those with a market cap of more than $250 million.
