Leading tech companies worldwide 2024, by market cap

Nov 15, 2024 | Technology & Telecommunications

As of November 15, 2024, Apple was the leading tech company by market capitalization globally at 3.6 trillion U.S. dollars. For the first time, Nvidia surpassed the three trillion U.S. dollar mark earlier in 2024.

Apple

Since its foundation in a Californian garage in 1976, Apple expanded massively and became one of the most valuable companies in the world. The company started its origins in the PC industry with the Macintosh, but soon entered other segments of the consumer electronics market. Today, the iPhone is the most profitable Apple product, although Mac, iPad, wearables, and services also contribute to its high revenues. Aiming at innovation, Apple invests every year in research and development, with its latest hardware product, an AR headset, released in 2024.

Samsung

Apple’s biggest rival in the consumer electronics industry is the South Korean tech giant Samsung. Founded in 1938 as a trading company, it developed in several sectors, including electronics and insurance, recording revenues in excess of 200 billion U.S. dollars over recent years. Despite Samsung being active in several markets across multiple divisions, it is today best known for its consumer tech products. Smartphones, tablets, and TVs are among the most popular. Samsung sits as the leading smartphone vendor, holding a market share of over 20 percent through 2022.

Danone was considered the fifth most valuable food brand in 2024, with a brand value of over eight billion U.S. dollars.

Nov 18, 2024 | Mobile Gaming

Monthly Fed funds effective rate in the U.S. 1954-2024

Nov 18, 2024 | Financial Services

The U.S. federal funds effective rate underwent a dramatic reduction in early 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The rate plummeted from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.65 percent in March, and further decreased to 0.05 percent in April. This sharp reduction, accompanied by the Federal Reserve's quantitative easing program, was implemented to stabilize the economy during the global health crisis. After maintaining historically low rates for nearly two years, the Federal Reserve began a series of rate hikes in early 2022, with the rate moving from 0.33 percent in April 2022 to 5.33 percent in August 2023. The rate remained unchanged for over a year, before the Federal Reserve initiated its first rate cut in nearly three years in September 2024, bringing the rate to 5.13 percent, signaling a potential shift in monetary policy.

What is the federal funds effective rate?

The U.S. federal funds effective rate determines the interest rate paid by depository institutions, such as banks and credit unions, that lend reserve balances to other depository institutions overnight. Changing the effective rate in times of crisis is a common way to stimulate the economy, as it has a significant impact on the whole economy, such as economic growth, employment, and inflation.

Central bank policy rates

The adjustment of interest rates in response to the COVID-19 pandemic was a coordinated global effort. In early 2020, central banks worldwide implemented aggressive monetary easing policies to combat the economic crisis. The U.S. Federal Reserve's dramatic reduction of its federal funds rate - from 1.58 percent in February 2020 to 0.05 percent by April - mirrored similar actions taken by central banks globally. While these low rates remained in place throughout 2021, mounting inflationary pressures led to a synchronized tightening cycle beginning in 2022, with central banks pushing rates to multi-year highs. By mid-2024, as inflation moderated across major economies, central banks began implementing their first rate cuts in several years, with the U.S. Federal Reserve, Bank of England, and European Central Bank all easing monetary policy.

Monthly active users of leading messaging apps in China 2024

Nov 18, 2024 | Apps

China’s telecommunications market houses a variety of domestic messaging apps such as WeChat, QQ, and Momo that cater to its diverse population of smartphone users. As of September 2024, Tencent’s WeChat remained the most popular messaging app with over one billion monthly active users in the country. 

How competitive is the app landscape in China?

Instant messaging was the most popular app category in China with a massive user base. When it comes to app usage time, video apps have attracted more attention from Chinese mobile users than any other app category. Apart from the well-established video-sharing platforms such as Youku, Tencent Video, and iQIYI, various short video apps - especially Douyin and Kuaishou (Kwai) - have been gaining traction rapidly in the app market. At the same time, online payment apps like Alipay and e-commerce apps such as Taobao and Pinduoduo have trailed closely behind in terms of monthly active user numbers.

App usage trends

China has one of the most engaged app user markets in the world, this is reflected in the high app installations, daily usage numbers, and consumer spending. However, data privacy awareness has been growing among Chinese consumers. An annual online survey found that a significant amount of users doubted the data privacy and security policies of internet companies. Besides, checking app permissions and partial granting personal data access on smartphones have become more common. It is important for app developers and publishers to avoid undesirable user permissions in order to gain the initial trust of Chinese users.

All-time top goalscorers of the Portuguese men's football team 2024

Nov 18, 2024 | Soccer

As of November 18, 2024, Cristiano Ronaldo was the all-time leading goalscorer for the Portuguese men's football team. With 135 goals to his name, Ronaldo rests at the top of the leaderboard, having scored more than 2.5 times the number of goals registered by second placed Pauleta and third placed Eusébio. 

Cristiano Ronaldo's legacy

Few athletes can claim to rival Cristiano Ronaldo's football career. Having already won numerous trophies in England, Spain, and Italy, the Portuguese forward is the highest paid soccer player worldwide following his signing by Saudi Arabian football club Al-Nassr. Although Al-Nassr does not compete in the UEFA Champions League, Ronaldo's legacy as the player with the most goals in the tournament will continue.

Portuguese men's national soccer team

As of September 2024, the Portuguese men's national soccer team were in eighth position globally according to FIFA's ranking. In 2024, A Seleção Portuguesa boasted several players with a net worth above 50 million euros in their line-up, with the most valuable player being Rafael Leão. Leão, who plays at club level for the Serie A side AC Milan, was also amongst the most expensive players at the FIFA World Cup held in Qatar in 2022.
