The major competitors of Logitech

Although the Logitech Group is now one of the world's leading companies in its field, there are some major competitors that can easily take market share from it and that you should take into account in your analysis. Here is a presentation of the main players in this field:

Microsoft Corporation

It is mainly active in the development and marketing of operating systems, software and related hardware and employs more than 148,000 people in 120 countries worldwide. The group is also listed on the Nasdaq, where it is currently one of the largest capitalisations.

The major partners of Logitech

While the Logitech Group has many rivals in its market, it can also set up ambitious strategic partnerships with other companies. To understand the interest of this type of event, we now propose three concrete examples of this type of alliance:

Loco

In 2021, the group signed a strategic partnership with Loco, which is the leading esport and live game streaming platform in France. As a result, the PC gaming community is expected to be worth $36.9 billion and the two companies, which are currently leaders in their respective industries, have partnered to host one of the largest PC gaming tournaments in France.

Riot Games

Another partnership was also recently signed between Logitech and Riot Games as part of the launch of League of Legends-themed peripherals in Brazil. This is actually the second product line to come out of a partnership between these two companies, which had started in 2019 with themed products from the virtual girl band K/DA. The League of Legends product line that will come out of this new agreement is going to include the G Pro X gaming headset, the G Pro mechanical keyboard, the G Pro wireless mouse and the G840 XL mouse pad with unique illustrations of Summoner's Rift, the setting of epic League of Legends matches, among others.

McLaren

Finally, in 2020, the group also established a strategic alliance with McLaren. This is actually a renewal of a partnership between the two companies aimed at taking motor racing into a new era by combining McLaren's motorsport heritage with Logitech's expertise in simracing, gaming and esports. As a result, the two companies will be able to accelerate their esport partnership together this year.
