Since the beginning of this year, "new quality productivity" has become a hot topic of concern in various industries. The new quality productivity emphasizes the leading role of scientific and technological innovation, and has the characteristics of high technology, high efficiency and high quality. All industries are forming new industries, new models, new momentum and new value through the development of new quality productivity.
As a key area that integrates the manufacturing and communication industries, the folding screen mobile phone, as an innovative mobile device, largely reflects the characteristics of new quality productivity: through advanced material science and precise mechanical design, the folding screen mobile phone realizes the foldability of the screen, which breaks the fixed screen form of the traditional mobile phone and provides users with more flexible and diverse ways to use. This kind of technological innovation not only improves the user experience, but also promotes the development of related industrial chains.
Folding screen mobile phones "solve" new quality productivity
At present, with the development of science and technology and the diversification of consumers' needs for mobile phones, folding screen mobile phones, as an innovative product form, meet users' pursuit of larger screens and more portable devices. It can help users complete various tasks such as office, entertainment, and study more efficiently, thereby increasing productivity levels.
There is no doubt that the further maturity and expansion of the folding screen mobile phone market will drive the development of related industrial chains, promote employment and economic growth, and also promote innovation and development in the fields of mobile Internet and Internet of Things, and inject new impetus into economic and social development.
According to a report by IDC, a research institution, China's folding screen mobile phone market shipments will achieve significant growth in 2023, with annual shipments of about 7.007 million units, a year-on-year increase of 114.5%. In the fourth quarter, shipments reached about 2.771 million units, a year-on-year increase of 149.6%.
Despite this, foldable screen phones still face challenges such as technical limitations, cost issues, user acceptance, and lack of market maturity. At present, folding screen phones are still the new favorite of a few tech geeks and business people, and they have not really gone to the mass market.
In this regard, IDC believes that as mobile phone manufacturers and upstream supply chains continue to increase R&D investment, hardware technology is improved and mature, software system applications are optimized, consumer experience continues to improve, and the price of folding screen mobile phones is further reduced, more and more consumers will be willing to try folding screen mobile phones.
