Business Idioms - Corner the market

When a company becomes more successful than their competitors in developing a product or service, we say they have cornered the market. It's another way of saying they control the market or have the largest market share.
Think of this business as a boxer in the ring. It's got its opponent in the corner, who can't move out of the way. Its opponent can only put their gloves up in defense. They are cornered, just like the competitors of the company.

Some examples:

▪️ In only a short time, the company has been able to corner the high-definition television market.
▪️ If this goes well, we're going to be able to corner the market for the next few years.
▪️ Unfortunately, we have to deal with them because they've cornered the market.
