South Korean giant Samsung will remain the leading player in the flexible display smartphone market in 2021. At least, such a forecast is contained in the publication of the DigiTimes resource.
The era of flexible-screen cellular phones began last year with the debut of models such as the Samsung Galaxy Fold and Huawei Mate X. At the same time, according to various estimates, less than 2019 million such devices were sold worldwide in 1.
This year, shipments are expected to rise several times, and in 2021, sales of flexible smartphones could reach the milestone of 10 million units. At the same time, various Samsung models alone will account for 6 to 8 million units in the total supply. In other words, the South Korean giant will take over half of the global flexible display market.
In the coming years, the demand for flexible smartphones will continue to grow rapidly. As a result, in 2025, according to Strategy Analytics experts, the volume of this segment can reach 100 million units.
The development of the market will be promoted by the appearance of flexible devices in the assortment of various brands, as well as a gradual decrease in the cost of such devices. Yet now these devices can not afford all users. Also, the spread of flexible devices should contribute to improving their reliability.
