market leader
'Marktführer' and 'Weltmarktführer' both refer to a leading company in a market. The difference is the size of the market. A 'Marktführer' is at the top in a particular market or country, for example in Germany or in a specific industry. A 'Weltmarktführer' is a world market leader. The words are easy to confuse because they sound very similar. The important point is: 'Weltmarktführer' explicitly says that the comparison is international. Without this worldwide reference, 'Marktführer' is usually more precise.
In der Präsentation erklärt die Firma, dass sie Weltmarktführer für diese Spezialmaschinen ist.
In the presentation, the company explains that it is the world market leader for these specialized machines.
