I can't speak for the US market in thermal monoculars, but in the UK at present there are 12 different brands of thermal monocular for sale with over 100 different models.
Other than Pulsar all are made in China or manufactured from critical components made in China
These are the brands currently available in the UK and the number of different thermal monocular models they each sell
Pulsar (8)
HIK (15)
PARD (5)
Infiray ( 23)
ATN (19)
Guide (7)
Leica (1)
Zeiss (3)
Swarovski (1)
Thermtec (5)
Night Pearl (12)
Pixfra (7)
Kahles (2)
FLIR (2)
Most of these companies also make thermal scopes
As far as digital night vision is concerned
The main players are:
Pulsar
HIK
IRay
PARD
ATN
Sightmark
There are also some smaller players such as One Leaf, Hittac, Sytong, Wulf and a load of cheapo chines nv rear add-ons that sell on AliExpress

I have a agm and pulsar they are great but just seeing what other brands I may be missing. I can use my c50 for everything I need now but I am building a ar and I don’t hunt hogs for a living so there is no use in me spending 5k on a scope
