Companies Founded in 2014

15 profiled companies were founded in 2014. The largest by latest full-year revenue is NIO Inc., at about $12.2 billion for 2025, followed by XPeng at about $10.7 billion for 2025 (unaudited).

No two of these companies report the same industry; they cover 15 different ones.

Headquarters-country data is available for 14 of these 15 companies. The largest country groups are USA (5), India (3) and China (2), across 7 countries in total.

Every figure above comes from the company profiles linked below, where each revenue number carries its fiscal year and source. Run-rates are never used as annual revenue, and revenue reported in other currencies is converted to US dollars at approximate 2025 average rates, so treat the comparison as an order of scale rather than an exact gap.
