For this class of airliner it’s really just Airbus and Boeing, unfortunately.

Even if a smaller manufacturer decided to build a full size jet like the 737, it would take many years to construct a manufacturing facility capable of handling that.

Embraer is probably the closest competitor, but they’ve only made 82 of their largest jet family according to Wikipedia. Only regional airlines use them.

But this might be the time they decide to work towards that goal.
