Samsung Electronics set a record in 2019 by commanding 20.5 percent of the home appliances market in the United States, whose $25.8 billion electronics market is the world’s biggest, according to data from Reed Electronics.

The Korean tech giant has maintained the top spot for four consecutive years, said US market researcher TraQline. Next on the list were Whirlpool and LG Electronics.

Samsung recorded its highest quarterly market share figure ever, 21.6 percent, in the fourth quarter of last year. In this area, the company has maintained its lead for 15 consecutive quarters.  

Samsung’s dryers, washing machines and refrigerators held the No. 1 spots in their respective categories, with market share figures of 20.8, 20.5 and 23.7 percent.
