The company was one of Bloomberg’s Top 50 companies to watch in 2023, and its CEO, Wang Laichun, is one of China’s richest women with a net worth of roughly $7 billion.

Our list also includes the Taiwanese company Pegatron, responsible for 35% of iPhone 15 Plus and 30% of iPhone 15 Pro manufacturing. In addition to Apple, Pegatron has become a significant component supplier for Tesla in recent years.

India’s largest conglomerate, Tata Group, completes the group with a smaller share of production (5%). Established in 1868, the company also operates other businesses like Tata Motors, Tata Steel, and Air India.
