Don't know where you got the 40% from, that sound way too high.
Advertisers do all sorts of tricks with figures like setting upper & lower limits that include their most popular engine and exclude their competitors most popular engines.
Or start & end dates for the previous year that includes the oppositions new engine release . Wholesale sales so a switch to their engine ups their figures or retail sales so a switch to a competitors engine is excluded.
I doubt that any manufacturer would ever have 40% of the overall market, then, now or any time in the future unless we end up with only one brand of engine.
I don't remember where I got it either but with essentially only three engine manufacturers (Cummins, Detroit, Caterpillar; Mack makes their own engines), why would 40% be so unrealistic? What do you suppose Cummins' market share is now?
