We say 'corner the market' not 'control the market' or 'dominate the market' (though those exist separately). 'Corner' is a specific collocation meaning to gain such a large share that you effectively control it.

我们说'corner the market'而不是'control the market'或'dominate the market'（虽然这些表达各自存在）。'Corner'是一个特定的搭配，意思是获得足够大的份额从而实质上控制市场。

Decimos 'corner the market' y no 'control the market' ni 'dominate the market' (aunque existen por separado). 'Corner' es una colocación específica que significa obtener una cuota tan grande que prácticamente se controla el mercado.

「corner the market」と言い、「control the market」や「dominate the market」（それぞれ別に存在する）とは区別します。「corner」は十分な市場シェアを獲得して実質的に支配することを意味する特定のコロケーションです。

'control the market'이나 'dominate the market'(이것들은 별도로 존재하지만)이 아닌 'corner the market'이라고 합니다. 'corner'는 시장 점유율을 크게 확보하여 사실상 시장을 지배하게 되는 것을 의미하는 특수한 연어입니다.
