The foldable smartphone market encompasses smartphones featuring flexible displays capable of folding and unfolding. These devices allow users to seamlessly transition between a compact smartphone size and a larger tablet-like form, enhancing adaptability and versatility in mobile usage. Foldable phone screens, also known as foldable displays, are typically made up of flexible materials such as plastic or a specialized type of glass. The specific material used can vary among manufacturers, but common options include Ultra-thin Glass (UTG) or plastic-based materials like polyimide. These materials allow the display to bend without breaking, enabling the foldable design seen in modern foldable smartphones. The goal is to strike a balance between durability and flexibility to create a reliable and functional folding display.

In the current market scenario, the demand for foldable phones is experiencing continuous growth, driven by various factors such as the increased desire for flexible displays and the compelling features offered by these innovative devices. The rising demand for bendable screens and the incorporation of advanced features in foldable phones are expected to fuel further expansion of the market. Consumers are increasingly inclined towards phones with the ability to bend, coupled with appealing features, contributing to the heightened popularity of foldable phones. This trend is projected to propel the foldable phone market to greater heights. Furthermore, the market is anticipated to witness significant growth due to the expanding display sizes and enhanced multitasking capabilities offered by foldable phones. The surge in market growth is evident in the remarkable increase in global foldable smartphone shipments by 158% in 2021, highlighting the growing preference for larger, versatile displays and enhanced functionality within the mobile device market. An example of this trend is exemplified by devices like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3, offering users a tablet-like experience with its expansive 7.6-inch screen.
