Aisin (or one of it's many subdivisions) has the Asian market pretty much wrapped up. No doubt ZF would like to break into that market but so far they are still focusing on North America.

Nobody builds their own transmissions. Car manufacturers make very few parts anymore. They buy them from a relatively small pool of parts manufacturers or they have a sub division that makes them for themselves and any other company that will pay. Car companies are pretty much assembly only now.
