The World’s Top 10 Manufacturing Nations Since 1970

Despite falling to No. 2 behind China in 2010, the USA is still a global manufacturing powerhouse and produced more manufacturing output in 2018 ($2.32 trillion) than No. 3 Japan, No. 4 Germany, and No. 5 Korea combined.

With all the talk about manufacturing jobs, it's nice to put things in perspective. Yes, China did overtake the U.S. as the world's leading manufacturer a decade ago but then again they have 6X the population of the U.S. And the U.S. is no slouch when it comes to manufacturing output, outpacing the number 3, number 4 and number 5 producers combined. Japan, the current number 3, nearly surpassed the U.S. not so long ago.

One thing I learned from living at mexico is the mexico provides much of the steel structures that are built in the usa. Includes also auto parts for china and usa.

I know some U.S. car makers build some of their cars in Mexico and Canada. The Ford Focus I used to own was built in Mexico.

Ford, Chevy, nissan are highly popular here. And recommended actually. Toyotas too are nice. The roads here are terrible and nice too for a while, but they come with surprise bumps and holes.

Thanks for the follow up reply.
