Although folding screen mobile phones will not become mainstream for a while and a half, the folding screen segment has begun to increase capacity continuously. In such an environment, any brand wants to come up with a piece of the pie. However, as far as the overall market is concerned, Samsung is still the absolute king of this market because it entered relatively early.
Recently, the well-known data research company Omdia released the 2021 folding screen mobile phone single product sales list, let's take a look:
Winner: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip3
Runner-up: Samsung Galaxy Z Fole3
Runner-up: Huawei Mate X2
The bottom few are: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip, Samsung Galaxy Z Fold2, Huawei Mate X2 4G, Xiaomi MIX Fold, OPPO Find N, Samsung W21 (Heart to the World), Huawei P50 Podket, Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.
From the overall list, Samsung is definitely the biggest winner, and there are six shortlisted folding screens in their own home. In fact, this is also a very normal phenomenon, because Samsung is the earliest player to enter the field of folding screens, and Samsung's overseas market is much stronger than domestic. It is not difficult to understand that there is such a sales volume. If it is not Huawei affected by the supply cut, I believe that the Huawei Mate X2 series can definitely compete with Samsung. However, there is no such thing as an if in this world, and the capacity of Huawei's folding screen market is estimated to be further reduced in the future. Because other domestic folding screens will usher in a big outbreak this year.
In fact, the reason why the folding screen market is small is not the problem of the folding screen product itself, but the entry threshold of the folding screen mobile phone is too high. Now the average selling price is more than 7,000 yuan, which is not something that ordinary consumers can afford. In the future, if the folding screen wants to develop further, the price is definitely still a key factor. However, with the maturity of technology and the increase in sales, the cost of folding screen mobile phones is also declining. Industry analysis this year folding screen mobile phone is expected to pull to less than 7,000 yuan, or even lower price.
