The Journey to $2 Trillion: How Apple compares to other tech titans

Our interactive graphic visualises Apple’s dramatic rise to the top, compared to the leading US tech companies and illustrates just how they left them in the dust.

Apple’s $2 Trillion market cap is nothing short of breathtaking, especially so, considering that the Cupertino-based tech giant has doubled its valuation in only 2 years. This spectacular feat has been heralded by many business and tech leaders alike, all the while, amidst one of the worst pandemics we’ve seen in over 100 years.

Our interactive graphic follows the company’s journey all the way back to 1984. It also tracks the valuations of the likes of Amazon, Alphabet Inc, Facebook, and more. It allows the viewer to watch Apple’s market cap rise (and fall) over the days, weeks and months, whilst competing with other tech giants as they pop-up along the way.

Market cap aside, we look at the markets that Apple competes in and dive deeper into how they've been able to reach the historic figure of $2 trillion. It arguably all started here for them, the mobile market and the advent of the iPhone. This was where we saw Apple take the next major step in their journey towards their $2 trillion market cap. It's now a market dominated by themselves and Samsung, with old foes HTC, Sony and Nokia slipping away. The latter had a market share of 49.4% in 2007, the same year the first iPhone was released.

Apple completely dominates the market when it comes to the tablet arena, peaking at over 70% in the 4th quarter last year.

One chink in their armour, however, Apple is further behind the pack when it comes to the worldwide PC market share, finding themselves in 4th in the overall rankings last year.
