Customer Concentration
Formula
Revenue from Largest Customer(s) ÷ Total Revenue
Definition
Customer Concentration measures the percentage of a company's revenue generated by its largest customers.
It can be evaluated for an individual customer or across a group of the largest customers to understand how dependent the business is on a relatively small portion of its customer base.
Interpretation
Higher Customer Concentration increases the potential impact of losing or downsizing a major customer. Lower concentration generally indicates a more diversified revenue base and reduces the financial impact of any single customer relationship.
Concentration should be evaluated alongside customer quality, contract duration, retention, and the strategic importance of the underlying relationships. High concentration can be more significant when major customers have short contracts or limited switching costs.
