According to display analyst Ross Young, although the current foldable smart phone market is stagnating due to reduced consumer interest, Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone is expected to change this situation. In his report on the current foldable smart phone market, Young pointed out that Apple is expected to "enter the foldable market" in the second half of 2026. Apple's "dominance" in the flagship smart phone sector could lead to significant growth for the foldable market in 2026, ultimately driving record sales for foldable screen phones. Young estimates that the foldable market will grow by more than 30% in 2026, and then continue to maintain a 20% growth in 2027 and 2028.
