It makes perfect sense for one to be patriotic, even more so when you need to support a particular industry in your country. Take Samsung of South Korea for instance – the company has experienced quite the fair amount of growth over the years, and their phones no doubt did extremely well in their home market. However, it seems that the conglomerate is starting to lose its sheen in their home market, not to mention seeing the number of sales drop worldwide, too. The most recent report by Counterpoint Research points in this particular direction, where Apple has achieved a fair increase in South Korea during October to November last year, biting into Samsung’s share.
To be more exact, Apple had achieved a new record (for them) in terms of market share – that is, 33%, and the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus are definitely to be commended for helping Apple achieve that figure. This also marks the very first time that a foreign company has picked up more than 20% market share over in South Korea. Samsung still remains right at the top with 46% of the total market share, but if the existing trend continues, it does not look as though they are able to hold on to this lofty position in a matter of time.
