Who are the Big 5 Manufacturers of the Bicycle World?

Random guessing and actual factual evidence all very welcome…

Spesh
Giant

after that I’m foggy…

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?

Who made your bike?
