That depends on how you define the market. Boeing and Airbus are the only two manufacturers of large civil airliners on the worldwide market. But there is a second tier including Bombardier, Embraer, Comac, Mitsubishi, and UAC which either manufacture smaller (regional) airliners or have more limited sales options. |

Protectionism bullshit by Boeing forced them to sell to Airbus, they only do business jets now.
> Embraer
Regional jets only. They saw what happened with Bombardier and they're highly unlikely to move upmarket in short haul jets.
> Mitsubishi
Cancelled their regional jet, so nothing.
> UAC
Severely hampered by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the resulting supply chain collapse and sanctions. The MC-21 and SSJ-100 were decent planes on paper, but cannot be manufactured because critical components are European or American (like the engines). The Tu-214 is back in production but it's a pretty obsolete plane by modern standards.
> Comac
By most accounts, roughly a decade behind equivalent Airbus planes in terms of efficiency, but realistically the only real alternative to Boeing/Airbus in the medium term.
