Embraer has potential to destabilize this duopoly with the E-Jet (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_E2_family https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embraer_E-Jet_E2_family) before China. Last month they just delivered the first units to a Norway airline.
Boeing made an strategic offer to acquire Embraer this year, before Embraer makes a dent on their market, but since it's a government controlled company there's a good chance it won't take the offer.

Though the most recent news on this says the deal is in advanced stages (according to Estadão). Apparently, it's likely to happen, given the appointment of a government representative to the board of the newly-formed company.
