Bike pedals can be made up of a lot of different kinds of materials. Pedals can be made up of metal or plastic for example.

While it's more than 100 years old, the bicycle has undergone a lot of changes since its inception. The sizes of the tires have changed, the material it's made from has altered, and the pedals have changed their design and materials over the years.

In detail? that'd be a long answer. In short it's basic industrial fabrication. Raw materials will be made into axles and platforms, bearings will most likely be bought from a bearing manufacturer. then the whole thing gets assembled.
Same way you'd manufacture anything else of a comparable level of complexity.

You'd need someone to cast the shell, someone to forge the axle, to clean up the bearing surfaces, to cut the threads and to put it all together.
