Samsung as a CE giant
Samsung ranks among the largest companies in the world in terms of market value and is perhaps best known for its various lines of successful consumer electronics products. The company’s biggest segment is its mobile communications business which primarily focuses on smartphone products such as the new Samsung Galaxy Fold. In addition to its own Samsung-branded products, the company also serves as the display manufacturer for many other devices in the consumer electronics market. The company employs hundreds of thousands of workers and accounts for a significant portion of South Korea’s GDP, meaning that Samsung is massively influential within both its home country and throughout the world.
