Top 100 manufacturers generated combined revenue of USD6.6 trillion, accounting for 13% of global manufacturing output in 2018. The share of revenue decreased by two percentage points from 2018 as the manufacturing industry faced weaker economic growth and cooling demand in core markets.
Out of 100 leading manufacturers, 36 companies were primarily engaged in production of automotive products or hi-tech goods. However, slowing growth of the automotive industry is forecast to result in stagnating numbers of automotive companies.
Slower economic growth in China and weaker demand for big-ticket items, such as new cars, resulted in slower performance of Chinese manufacturing and B2B-related companies during 2019. Moreover, China’s manufacturing sector felt negative impact from the US-China trade war which inflated operating costs and hurt exporters. Nevertheless, share of Chinese companies in global manufacturing sector still increased in 2019 as other countries also faced slowdown.
Companies operating in food, apparel and other consumer goods industries showed stable performance in 2019. Despite the weaker economic growth, expanding consumer incomes and rising consumption in the emerging markets helped to increase revenues.
Despite the weaker economic environment, the majority of the aerospace and defence companies within the Top 100 ranking experienced healthy revenue growth in 2019. Rising global political uncertainty and expanding global defence budgets supported the industry.
