[Closed] Who are the Big 5 Manufacturers of the Bicycle World?

Merida
Trek

add Trek to the list

Chow Mein Bicycle Co

Hero are massive.

Fuji?

Gotta be a Chinese manufacturer:

Which country is the biggest producer of bicycles?
China.
Although bicycles are produced in dozens of countries, the top five producers - China, India, the European Union, Taiwan, and Japan - are responsible for 87% of global production. China alone had some 58 percent of the global market in 2004.

Flying Pigeon 🙂

In terms of MTB;
Specialized
Trek
Giant
GT
Nukeproof

Nukeproof?
I'd have thought someone like Merida/Canyon/ etc would come higher.

Nukeproof?!

DMR
Scott
Orange
Marin
Schwinn

SRAM - they seem to have a brand for everything
Shimano

I believe Giant are the largest in the world by some margin. Merida own at least 49% of Spec. IIRC they own the majority now.

"Bicycle World" would suggest Shimano as above - whilst they don't make actual bikes, they make almost everything else involved, and it is rare to have a bike without any kind of shimano parts, or at least shimano influenced parts.

Manufacture or Brands?
