Samsung Electronics Ranks Ninth in IoT Rankings with 20% On Average

This position was announced in the data compiled by IoT Analytics on December 25. It proclaims Samsung in ninth place and LG at eleventh for the third quarter of 2015. IoT Analytics took into account more than 2,000 IoT companies from around the world. They were evaluated by how many mentions the company has on websites, news and social media. The firm also searched related keywords, as well as how often the companies were tagged on LinkedIn.

The rating is based on a percent score, 100% being the obvious highest. The rest of the companies are ranked in linear relation to the company in the first position. The ranking was as follows: Intel Corp – 71%, IBM – 67%, Microsoft Corp – 56%, Cisco Systems Inc – 51%, Hewlett-Packard Co – 41%, Apple Inc – 29%, SAP SE – 28%, Samsung Electronics – 28% and Oracle Corp – 28%. Seeing as LG didn’t make it to the top ten, it’s natural to assume that Samsung has officially surpassed LG as a brand.

In the report, IoT declared that the four top companies were leaders in different sectors of Internet of Things competitiveness. Intel was outstanding in the semiconductor sector, while IBM and Microsoft had recognition for their work in the platform sector and Cisco is gaining power in the connectivity sector.

It can no longer be denied that Samsung is ahead of pretty much every other IoT company in all of Asia.
