Samsung Electronics, the world's largest smartphone vendor, was the dominant player in the global foldable smartphone market last year, a report showed Tuesday, with its leading status expected to continue through 2021.
For the whole of 2020, Samsung logged an 87 per cent share on a unit basis in the global foldable smartphone market that was estimated at 2.2 million units, according to market tracker Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC).
"The Z Flip was the No. 1 model with nearly a 50 per cent share followed by the Z Fold2," DSCC said. "Korea was the leading region for foldable smartphone shipments in 2020 due to the success of the Z Flip and Z Flip 5G in that region as Korea accounted for more than 50 percent share of demand for Samsung's clamshell models in 2020."
