Overview:
Global foldable smartphone shipments are projected to grow 20.2% YoY in 2026. However, this expansion is expected to be disproportionately driven by Apple’s entry in H2, meaning that despite overall category growth, most incumbent OEMs are likely to face pressure on both shipment volumes and market share. The year is set to unfold in a two-speed pattern, with a softer first half followed by a stronger recovery and acceleration in the second half.
