Why there are only few laptop companies exists?

I remember back in 2010s there were big and reputable brands like Samsung, Toshiba, Sony, Fujitsu Siemens, LG were all vigorously producing laptop each year in order to increase its market share. Currently these companies are long gone, and few of brands are dominating the market. What is the reason for your understanding? And Why big companies are not producing laptops anymore?

Toshiba divested and stopped making laptops because they weren't making a profit off of them. That was several years ago.

As far as the others it depends on the region of the world. They exist; it just may not be the consumer market.

Still I would like to see more competitors in the market.

Isn't the answer obvious?

No company is going to keep making a product if there is no profit in it.
