About This Dataset
Largest Car Companies by Revenue (2024)Volkswagen is the world's biggest carmaker by revenue, generating about $367.9 billion - ahead of Toyota ($337.3 billion), even though Toyota sells more vehicles. This gap reflects Volkswagen's broad portfolio of higher-priced brands including Audi, Porsche and Bentley. The two giants tower over the field: third-placed Ford ($189.9B) earns barely half of Toyota's total. American and European legacy makers fill most of the list - Ford, General Motors ($184.6B), Stellantis ($177.5B), Mercedes-Benz ($154.6B) and BMW ($153.7B) are tightly bunched. The most telling entry is China's BYD ($107.3B) at number ten: once a niche battery maker, it now out-earns some storied Western brands, a sign of how rapidly Chinese manufacturers are scaling up to challenge the established order.
