HHI index cannot by definition be *on companies*. It is the squared sum of market shares of all the companies in a country. So, if you are looking for companies' market shares, you should look at each country individually.

But if you want HHI index *on countries* (which is a correct way of framing the question) then you can use this WorldBank data: <https://tcdata360.worldbank.org/indicators/hh.mkt>
