The Myanmar Business Directory is your starting point for finding companies operating in Myanmar — whether you are a buyer sourcing products, an investor researching the market, a professional looking for a local partner, or a business that wants to be discovered by new clients. This guide explains how the directory is organized, what sectors it covers, how to search effectively, and how your business can get listed.

What the Myanmar Business Directory Covers

Myanmar Yellow Pages has maintained business listings for Myanmar since 2006. The directory spans companies and organizations across every major economic sector, organized so you can navigate by industry, by location, or by company name.

Sectors Covered

The directory does not claim to be exhaustive — Myanmar has a large informal sector and many small businesses without a formal online presence — but it covers the commercially active segment of the economy across both Yangon-centered industries and regional businesses.

How to Find Companies in Myanmar by Sector

Search by Sector Category

The most direct route is to browse or search within a sector category. Each category page lists member businesses with their registered name, business type, location, and contact details where provided.

If you already know a company name, the directory search function allows name-based lookup. Partial matches work — searching “Mandalay” plus a category will surface businesses in that city within the chosen sector.

Search by Location

Myanmar’s business activity is concentrated in:

• Yangon — the commercial capital, home to the majority of major companies, banks, international offices, and industrial zones
• Mandalay — the second city; strong in jade and gem trade, handicrafts, timber, and regional commerce
• Naypyidaw — the administrative capital; relevant for government-interface activities and state enterprise head offices
• Pathein, Mawlamyine, Myeik — regional commercial centers with distinct industry profiles (delta agriculture, Mon border trade, seafood/fishing)

The directory allows filtering by township and region, which is useful when proximity or logistics routes matter to your sourcing decision.

Search by Export Capability

For buyers sourcing Myanmar products internationally, the directory distinguishes between domestically-focused businesses and those registered as exporters. The DICA company register (Myanmar’s official business registry, operated by the Directorate of Investment and Company Administration) is the authoritative source for export-licensed entities. Our directory cross-references DICA data where available.

Listing Your Business: Free vs Featured

Myanmar Yellow Pages offers two tiers of business listing:

Free Basic Listing

Any registered Myanmar business can submit a free listing. A basic listing includes:

• Company name and registered business category
• City and region
• Contact phone number and/or email
• Website URL (if applicable)
• Brief business description (up to 150 words)

Free listings appear in directory search results and category pages. They are a permanent, searchable reference — not a time-limited advertisement.

To submit a free listing: use the listing submission form available through the Business Directory hub. Allow up to 5 business days for review and publication.

Featured Listing

A featured listing gives your business enhanced visibility within the directory:

• Priority placement at the top of relevant category and location pages
• Extended description (up to 500 words) with full detail on your products, services, export capabilities, certifications, and specialisms
• Logo display and up to 5 product or premises photos
• Direct inquiry form so potential buyers can contact you without leaving the page
• Social and web links — website, Facebook page, LinkedIn profile

Featured listings are reviewed annually and carry a modest listing fee. Contact the Myanmar Yellow Pages team through the site to discuss featured placement.

Verification Note

Myanmar Yellow Pages applies a basic verification process to all listings: we confirm that the business name matches an active DICA registration (where verifiable), and we check that contact details are functional before publication. However, directory listings do not constitute a commercial endorsement. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence on any supplier, including requesting company registration documents, trade licenses, and references.

For guidance on the broader due diligence environment — particularly relevant given the current political context — see our article on Doing Business in Myanmar.

Key Directory Categories for Buyers and Investors

Manufacturing & Garments

Myanmar’s garment sector is one of the most searched categories in the directory. Factories range from large, internationally-audited facilities to mid-size operations serving regional brands. Listings include contact details for export sales teams.

Buyers evaluating garment suppliers should apply supply-chain due diligence proportionate to their home-market requirements — particularly regarding factory ownership and any links to sanctioned entities. See our Made in Myanmar guide for further context.

Gems & Jewelry

Myanmar’s gem sector — rubies, sapphires, jadeite, spinel, and other stones — is covered in depth in our dedicated Myanmar Gems & Jade: The Complete Guide. The directory lists licensed gem dealers and exporters in Yangon and Mandalay.

Compliance obligations in this sector are significant. Consult legal counsel in your jurisdiction before engaging with gem suppliers.

Agricultural Exporters

Pulse and bean exporters, rice mills, sesame traders, and seafood processors each have their own category in the directory. This segment includes both well-capitalized private exporters and cooperatives — the listing detail will indicate business type.

Hospitality & Tourism

Hotels, guesthouses, boutique resorts, tour operators, and travel agencies are well-represented in the directory. This is useful both for travelers planning a trip and for industry buyers looking to establish B2B relationships. For travel context, see our things to do in Myanmar and where to stay in Myanmar guides.

Logistics & Freight

Freight forwarders, customs clearance agents, and warehousing businesses are listed with contact details. These intermediaries are essential for import and export transactions and can advise on current documentation and port procedures in Yangon and Mandalay.

For International Buyers: A Note on Due Diligence

Myanmar’s business environment has changed significantly since 2021. Sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, United Kingdom, and other jurisdictions apply to certain entities, sectors, and individuals. The Myanmar Business Directory does not screen listings against sanctions lists, and a listing in this directory does not imply any sanctions clearance or endorsement.

Buyers, investors, and partners must:

• Screen counterparties against current sanctions lists applicable in their jurisdiction (OFAC, EU, OFIS, UK OFSI)
• Verify company ownership and beneficial ownership structures
• Seek legal advice before entering contracts with Myanmar-based entities

This directory is a starting point for identification and contact — it is not a substitute for proper commercial due diligence.

Submit Your Business Listing

If your company operates in Myanmar and is not yet listed, we encourage you to submit. Myanmar Yellow Pages reaches international buyers, investors, and business travelers searching for verified local contacts. A listing costs nothing for the basic tier and takes minutes to submit.

FAQ

Is the Myanmar Business Directory free to use?

Yes — browsing and searching the directory is entirely free for users. Businesses can also submit a basic listing at no charge. Featured listings with enhanced placement and extended content are available for a modest annual fee.

How do I find a specific type of company in Myanmar?

Use the category navigation to browse by sector, or use the search bar with a company name, product type, or city. Filtering by region helps narrow results when you need a local supplier or service provider in a specific part of the country.

How can I get my Myanmar business listed?

Submit a listing through the Business Directory submission form. You will need your company name as registered with DICA, business category, location, and contact details. Basic listings are reviewed within 5 business days.

Does a listing in Myanmar Yellow Pages verify a company is legitimate?

No. We confirm basic registration details where possible, but a directory listing is not a commercial endorsement or a sanctions clearance. Buyers must conduct their own independent due diligence, including verifying DICA registration and screening against applicable sanctions lists.

What sectors are most searched in the Myanmar Business Directory?

Garments and manufacturing, gems and jewelry, agricultural exporters, logistics and freight, and hotels and hospitality are consistently the most searched categories, reflecting the mix of trade buyers, investors, and travelers using the directory.
