global distribution
Across all continents
Global distribution refers to the spread or allocation of something across the world.
The term appears in business contexts—companies with global distribution can deliver products internationally—and in scientific ones, where it describes where species, phenomena, or resources occur across the planet: The global distribution of malaria corresponds closely with tropical climates.
