Samsung is expected to dominate the foldables market during the current quarter
During last year’s third quarter, when Samsung released the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Galaxy Z Flip 4, it held an incredible 86% share of the global foldable smartphone market. The lower number expected for this year’s Q3, while still showing domination by Samsung, will be lower due to the entrance of some new players in the foldable arena such as Google.
The Galaxy Z Flip 5 is forecast to hold a leading 45% of the foldable market during Q3 followed by the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and its forecast 20% share. The Huawei Mate X3, Honor Magic V2, and the Motorola Razr 40 Ultra will round out the top five. Clamshells will have a 55% share during Q3 forecasts DSCC, and Samsung Display will recover to grab its highest share of the foldable panel market, 78%, since Q4 of 2022.
