The automotive industry is a crucial part of the global economy, producing vehicles that efficiently transport people and goods not only within nations but across entire regions. These companies manufacture vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans, and sport utility vehicles (SUVs). Some even produce motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles, as well as commercial vehicles like transport trucks and buses. The biggest auto manufacturers have an unusually large global footprint, selling vehicles to consumers and businesses throughout the world. These big companies are mainly headquartered in just a few countries that lead the industry — Japan, Germany, and the U.S. — but the list of the 10 biggest also includes one car company from Italy and one from South Korea.
We look in detail below at the 10 biggest car companies by 12-month trailing (TTM) revenue. Some companies outside the U.S. report profits semi-annually instead of quarterly, so the 12-month trailing data may be older than it is for companies that report quarterly. This list is limited to companies which are publicly traded in the U.S. or Canada, either directly or through ADRs. Data is courtesy of YCharts.com.1 All figures are as of September 10.
