Many independent companies started making trams in the 19th and early 20th century. In the last several decades most of them have merged with or into larger ones. The biggest changes in the period after 2010 were the mergers of [[AnsaldoBreda]] into [[Hitachi Rail]] in 2015 and [[Bombardier Transportation|Bombardier]] into [[Alstom]] in 2020.
Approximately 5,000 new trams are manufactured each year.

As of February 2017, 4,478 new trams were on order from their makers, with a further 1,092 options being open:<ref>Mike Taplin, ''Tramways and Urban Transit'' no. 952, April 2017, 0. 131</ref>
