Over 100 million bicycles are made each year, the top three manufacturing countries being China, India and Taiwan. In 2025, the global market size was an estimated $116 billion.
Many bicycle brands do not manufacture their own product, but rather import and re-brand bikes manufactured by others, sometimes designing the bike, specifying the equipment, and providing quality control. There are also brands that have, at different times, been manufacturers as well as re-branders: a company with manufacturing capability may market models made by other (overseas) factories, while simultaneously manufacturing bicycles in-house, for example, high-end models.
International manufacturers Only brands or manufacturers that are notable as a bicycle brand should be included. If no page exists for the company or brand, then the page to be linked to should be created first or a reference provided as to its notability or the entry will probably be removed.
Bicycle manufacturers are in many cases members of "Groups", i.e. they have several product names – so-called "brands". Examples include the following: Accell in Heerenveen, Netherlands Cycleurope based in Stockholm, Sweden Derby Cycle in Cloppenburg, Germany Dorel Sports, a division of the Dutch Pon Holdings
