This popularity also takes some victims as is the case of Samsung or Apple, which have lost ground in the market.

It represents a huge advance compared to the sales of the previous year, an increase of 62%.
On the other hand, we have brands such as Apple or Samsung, which fall in sales and lose some ground in the market. Koreans have fallen by 10% in the past year. While Apple saw its sales fell by 6% in the total of the year.
Undoubtedly, an interesting advance that Chinese brands have had in Europe. Samsung is presented as a clear competitor this year, determined to regain the throne in the market. But we will see what happens in the market this year.
