Omdia forecasts 44% growth in foldable display shipments for 2026

Wider foldables are expected to help drive the increase, with Samsung playing a major role, according to 9to5Google. GSMArena reports that the forecast covers inner displays rather than finished phones, so component shipments may precede device shipments, and follows a 12% decline in display shipments last year.

• Android Headlines also identifies Apple as a major contributor to the expected growth.
