Industry insider remarks that if Samsung Electronics (005930 KS) is able to secure Qualcomm (QCOM) as a customer after Tesla (TSLA), it will be able to secure more orders from other firms, Hankyung reports

• Full quote: "Samsung, which was pushed back by TSMC, was able to effectively compete head-on with its cutting-edge 2nm process. If it secures Qualcomm as a customer following Tesla, it will be able to secure more orders from global companies."

Samsung's potential to land Qualcomm as a customer following its work with Tesla could significantly enhance its competitive position in the semiconductor market. Successfully securing these relationships may not only bolster Samsung's order book but also encourage further industry consolidation by attracting additional clients, which is particularly relevant given current pressures in the semiconductor space.
