Top 10 largest Mobile Companies in the World – 2018

In this article, we will discuss the top 10 largest mobile companies in the world, their market share and what points they need to ponder upon to retain their position and gain better. Here are the Top largest mobile companies

Samsung

Samsung is ruling the mobile market all over the world. Presently it is the leading smartphone company globally. In Q2 2017, the Samsung market share was 22%.

Point to Ponder

Clearly, Samsung is the leader in terms of its sales, performance, and market share but in 2017 there was not much growth in the sales of Samsung. Galaxy S8 and S8+ did good but the sales of mid-range J and A series of Samsung phones declined which is a point to ponder for the company.

Apple

In the smartphone market, the identity of Apple is the iPhone and it is the reason for Apple’s second position in the smartphone market. In Q1 2017 the market share of Apple was 14.7%.

In 2017 Apple’s iPhone X was the most innovative phone of the year and it was included in the list of 25 best inventions of the year.

Point to Ponder

Apple should look ahead to know what it has to achieve yet but look down as well. Be aware of the mobile companies that might surpass it, in its ignorance. Huawei has plans to surpass Apple in a year or two and become the second biggest company in the world as per Huawei CEO’s claim. Apple should know how it has to retain its position while looking forward.

Huawei

Huawei

Huawei is the third leading mobile company in the world. As per the Q1 2017 record, the market share of Huawei was 10%.

By 2019-2020 Huawei claims that it will surpass Apple’s position in the mobile market.

Point to Ponder

In the USA Huawei phones are having trouble, the government of the USA feels that Huawei company is spying for China through their phones. Huawei has to change this thinking to beat Apple in the future.

Nokia has produced some legendary phones in the past but now the market is different, the tech is different and the demand of the people is different. Nokia needs to adapt with time.

  1. This is very inaccurate. The third/ potential second leading company is BKK Electronics, going by phones this would be accurate, by brands this is far from it. BKKL own Oppo, VIvo and oneplus, This puts it just behind apple with a total market share with at least 13% but more likely around 16% surpassing apple.

  2. West cannot digest Huawei’s popularity USA, New Zealand, Australia and other all going against the company
