List of automotive manufacturers by production
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a list of the biggest motor vehicle manufacturers by annual sales or production, compiled using data from F&I Tools USA (2018 onwards) and the Organisation internationale des Constructeurs d'Automobiles (OICA) (2001–2017).

2018–2025 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.
These figures may not be accurate, as they are compiled from a third-party source.
For 2025, the figures for General Motors continue to include volume from their joint venture, SAIC-GM-Wuling, even though they are the minority shareholders in the business.[1] Further, the figures for Geely only include the Geely Auto, but do not include all brands owned by Geely, which also owns Volvo, Zeekr, Lynk & Co, and more. Combined, they sold more that 4.11 million cars in 2025.[2] Additionally, Changan's sales figures include volume from their joint ventures, inflating their sales numbers.[3]
Of the manufacturers missing, but also in the top 15 as of 2025, there are two: SAIC Motor, selling around 2.9 million cars[4] including SAIC-GM-Wuling (which they hold a controlling stake in), and Chery, selling around 2.8 million cars.[5]
2021–2025
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:[11]
- 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 (LCVs): 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 (HCVs): 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.

Notes
- Including production figures from the Chinese SAIC-GM-Wuling joint venture,[9] which the OICA left out from the 2015 and 2016 GM total contrary to prior practice; they are combined here to allow for consistent comparison with previous years. By default, they were included in the F&I dataset used after 2018.
- now part of Stellantis
- now part of Stellantis
- Lexus (100%), Daihatsu (100%), and Hino are subsidiaries of Toyota. OICA listed both Lexus (100% owned by Toyota) and Daihatsu (owned to 51.2% by Toyota 1998 to 2016) combined with Toyota in 1998 and 1999 and Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino (owned to 50.1% by Toyota since 2001) combined with Toyota in 2000 and again from 2008, but separately 2001 to 2007, although Toyota-Lexus-Daihatsu-Hino was listed combined in the list of the largest auto manufacturers by year for the years 2001 and 2002.
- Hyundai and Kia have operated as a group since 1998 when Hyundai first took 51% control of Kia. However, OICA listed their manufacturing figures separately 2006 to 2008; together with the addition of Genesis starting in 2015, all three are combined here for consistency with previous and subsequent years.
- FAW production excluding joint ventures with Volkswagen, Toyota and Mazda
- Although General Motors still was the largest automaker by sales by 2007, Toyota (including Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino) had larger production of vehicles a year than G.M. for the first time already in 2006.
- Ford owned a 33.4 % controlling-stake in Mazda 1996 to 2008. OICA, however, lists Mazda separately from Ford. Including Mazda's production, Ford would still be the 2nd-largest auto manufacturer, larger than Toyota (with Lexus, Daihatsu, and Hino), by 2004, as well as the 3rd largest, larger than the Volkswagen Group, in 2007 (and possibly the first half of 2008).
- Including production figures from Nissan Diesel as a Nissan subsidiary until 2006 (sold to Volvo in 2007).
- DaimlerChrysler was split in 2007. However, OICA began to list them separately already in 2006.
- GM Daewoo became a subsidiary of General Motors in 2002. However, OICA listed it separately before 2006.
- With Mazda: 7,785,307
- Dongfeng production excluding joint venture with Citroën
- BAIC production excluding joint ventures with Hyundai and Isuzu
- As of 2003
- With Mazda: 7,718,667
- With Mazda: 7,919,104
- Nissan overtook Honda as the 7th largest in 2003.
