The smartphone industry is indeed creating its own trend. This time, analysts believe that the development of folding mobile phones will increase dramatically. Some even say 100 million units will be produced until 2025.
This prediction is delivered by Strategy Analytics, a company that is quite popular in its field. They are optimistic that many companies will begin to switch to creating folding cellphone models, one of which is Apple, quoted from Ubergizmo, Saturday (02/15/2020).
That way, analysts predict an increase in consumer demand for folding phones. So, this also affects the amount of folding device production. The analysts predict smartphone vendors will send 100 million units of folding phones by 2025.
Ken Hyers, Strategy Analytics Director, said that Samsung would be in the top position. Followed by Huawei in second place. He also explained that Samsung has a wider market in the West, such as the US. Meanwhile, Huawei is focused on the Chinese market.
It is not surprising if analysts say Samsung is in the top position. Because the technology brand has just released the Galaxy Z Flip as the successor of the Fold. Reportedly, the folding cellphone was sold 900 units in its inaugural sales in South Korea. However, Ken also revealed other brands that were also involved in the folding mobile trend.
"Competing brands, such as Motorola and TCL, will present their own new models by 2020 and will take fold models. In 2025, every major player must have a folding portfolio, including Apple, "added Ken.
