List of automotive manufacturers by production

This is a list of the biggest motor vehicle manufacturers by annual sales or production, compiled using data from F&I Tools USA and the Organisation internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA).

2018-2024 worldwide car sales

As OICA stopped publishing statistics of motor vehicle production by manufacturer post-2017, numbers for 2018 onward only include sales by the manufacturer.

2021-2024

BYD entered the top 10 and Changan and Geely increased sales. Tesla entered the top 15 in 2023 then fell out in 2024.

2001-2017 production volumes

These figures from OICA include a variety of vehicle types, defined as follows:Passenger cars: Vehicles with at least four wheels, primarily used to transport passengers, with no more than eight seats in addition to the driver’s seat.Light commercial vehicles : Vehicles with at least four wheels, mainly for transporting goods, with a maximum mass ranging between 3.5 and 7 tons depending on national definitions. Minibuses also fall into this category; they are used for passenger transport, contain more than eight seats in addition to the driver, and have a maximum mass within the same range.Heavy trucks : Vehicles designed to carry goods above the mass limits of light commercial vehicles, including tractor units for towing semi-trailers.Buses and coaches: Vehicles for passenger transport with more than eight seats beyond the driver, and a maximum mass exceeding the limits defined for light commercial vehicles.
This classification ensures that production statistics are comparable across countries and manufacturers.
