The major competitors of Samsung

The Samsung Group naturally faces strong competition in all the segments in which it operates. We therefore suggest that you find out here who its main rivals are in these sectors:

Xiaomi Corporation

This Chinese electronics and computer company also offers mobile phone and consumer electronics products. It is the third largest smartphone vendor after Samsung and Apple.

Intel Corporation

In the semiconductor segment, the American group Intel Corporation is of course worth watching as it is the second largest player in this market after Samsung in terms of turnover. It produces microprocessors, flash memories, motherboards and graphics processors, among other things. The company is listed on the Nasdaq under the symbol INTC and has been led since 2021 by the former CEO of WMWare.

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing

This other company is currently one of the largest semiconductor foundries in the world and is therefore in direct competition with Samsung in this segment. The TSMC group produces, for example, graphics chips for NVidia or systems on a Snapdragon chip from Qualcomm and chips from Apple.

LG Corporation

This company, formerly known as the LG Group or Lucky Goldstar, is a South Korean chaebol or industrial conglomerate or holding company, specialising in the field of electronics, including home automation, mobile phones, air conditioning, small household appliances and also in business solutions, including solar and security. It is also a family business that was created by the Koo family, which still holds stakes in 17 subsidiaries of the LG group, including 45.25% in LG Chemical and 35.89% in LG Capital Services.

Whirlpool

Finally, and with regard to Samsung's competition in the household appliance sector, we should also take into account the American company Whirlpool, which specialises in the design, production and distribution of household appliances and which is currently number two in this segment after LG.


The major partners of Samsung

Thanks to various partnerships, Samsung has been able to maintain a good reputation in this business sector. Here they are in further detail.

Positive factors for Samsung
The factors in favour of a rise in the Samsung share price:

Concerning the factors favourable to a rise in this asset price we note the following in particular:

  • Firstly, one of the principal arguments in favour of a long rising trend of the Samsung share price relates of course to the long experience of this company in its activity sector.  The Samsung Company has in fact been present in this market for several decades now and has succeeded in developing an excellent brand image as well as a worldwide reputation for superior knowledge and capabilities in its chosen sector.
  • The marketing strategy followed by Samsung should also be noted for its efficacy.  In fact, this company has done everything possible to target a wide range of clients by developing a varied assortment of products with numerous models and options at a wide range of prices. This in turn has enabled the company to significantly increase its sales achieved from each of its new devices which are available in different models of which the price varies according to the options or size.
  • The Samsung Group has also succeeded in positioning itself in an advantageous manner in certain specific parts of its chosen sector.  We can notably point out a real advantage of this company in terms of its position among the largest manufacturers of televisions and mobile telephones worldwide. In this manner it benefits from a position of strength for negotiations and an excellent presence on the international market.
  • Still on the subject of factors in favour of a rise in the Samsung share price, we can also mention the fact that this company has shown itself capable of making high quality strategic alliances with other large high tech companies. It has also shown its ability to introduce new increasingly popular and perfect models onto the market while decreasing production costs to a minimum to favour its margins and increase the possibility of reducing its sales prices.
  • This brings us to another favourable factor for the Samsung share price which relates this time to the innovative abilities of this group. Samsung has in fact greatly invested in research and development and is renowned for regularly introducing new and innovative product models onto the market. In this manner it retains a certain dynamism and maintains its leadership against its major competitors.
  • The diversification of the Samsung Group’s activities is another undeniable advantage. The group is in fact above all renowned for the products it creates, manufactures and sells including telephones, computers and household appliances, but it is also a large manufacturer of parts and accessories such as LCD monitors, memory cards and other components destined for other manufacturers, sometimes even the direct competitors to Samsung.
  • In the mobile telephone sector generally called smartphones we can also note that Samsung is currently the leader in terms of sales just above its major competitor Apple. This success is notably due to its Galaxy series of products which continues to benefit from a high degree of popularity on this market. This range of smartphones was in fact the first to effectively create competition for the iPhone telephones produced by Apple.
  • Another indirect argument that should be considered before launching into trading in this share price concerns the work force of the Samsung Company. This company currently employs over 400,000 people around the world which of course avails this company of a significant strength in terms of production as well as sales. The size of this workforce is therefore also a significant indicator of the success enjoyed by this company and its strength in terms of development.          
  • And finally, the last argument in favour of a rise in the Samsung share price concerns the international status of this company which sells its products worldwide. Samsung is particularly well positioned in the emerging markets such as Asia to which it is close geographically speaking, in this area it is one of the leaders in terms of high tech product sales.
Negative factors for Samsung
The factors in favour of a drop in the Samsung share price:

As you may have noted from reading the precedent arguments, there are numerous factors in favour of a long rising trend in the Samsung share price. However, the situation is not that simple as the group also has certain weak points and factors that could negatively impact the positive trend in its price. We now offer you the opportunity to learn about the two principal arguments in favour of a drop in the Samsung share price.

  • Firstly, we can of course note the strong competition to the Samsung Group as its major handicap. Since the arrival of smartphones in the mobile telephone sector, the market share of this company in this sector has fallen overall even though Samsung remains the leader. This is notably due to the entry of other companies in this sector and the competition they represent such as the Korean firm Huawei that manufactures advanced technological products at a slightly lower price than Samsung. In this highly specific market context, the possibilities for growth and development of the Samsung Group remain fairly limited.
  • And, to conclude, the second argument in favour of a drop in the Samsung share price relates this time to the numerous problems that this company has encountered with some of its patents that have been contested by its long time competitor Apple.  Although these files are now classified the investors are still anxious about the possibility of new and similar scandals in the future and can at times appear reticent to take buying positions on this asset due to this lack of confidence. Also, these patent disputes have also contributed to a downturn in the Samsung brand image as perceived by the general public.
