Although many OEMs saw double- and triple-digit growth, the market’s overall growth was impacted by Samsung’s tough Q4 due to political instability, and OPPO cutting production of its more affordable clamshell foldables.Global Foldable Smartphone Shipment ForecastSource: Counterpoint Research Global Foldable Smartphone ForecastThis year is expected to be even tougher, with Counterpoint forecasting single-digit negative growth for the market in 2025. “I don’t see many positives this year and we are actually expecting negative growth for the segment, which will be a first,” observed Senior Analyst Jene Park. “But it is definitely not a sign of the market peaking; rather it is a sign of regrouping before 2026, which is expected to be exciting and rejuvenating for the segment with the entry of Apple and a slew of clamshells.”Counterpoint Research’s latest Foldable and Rollable Display Shipment and Technology Report supports this growth view for 2026 with the forecast of a mid-double-digit YoY growth in panel procurement. “The supply chain is telling us foldable order books are filling up further out,” said Research Director Calvin Lee. “At the moment, this doesn’t look like a market that is plateauing – it looks like a market that is about to transform. And that requires a lot of planning, hence the slight pullback this year.”BackgroundCounterpoint Technology Market Research is a global research firm specializing in products in the TMT (technology, media and telecom) industry.

Feeling musical! 🎶 🙂

A few days of Horn practice in a row. Played some scales today that sounded like a real Horn player, almost like I knew what I was doing! 😉

I'm gonna push it this evening and tune up my classical guitar, too.

(I majored in Music at the University of Iowa, and played Horn for a living 1983-2009. Trying to make a comeback after 16 years off the instrument.)

DO NOT toy with us K-Media!

"According to Korean media reports, BTS will resume group activities when all members are discharged from their military service in time for their debut anniversary in June. Reportedly, they are preparing to release a new album followed by a world tour to commemorate the tenth anniversary of The Most Beautiful Moment in Life series."

Auf #X gibt es nichts mehr zu gewinnen, #RobertHabeck

Grünen-Politiker Robert #Habeck will die Plattform X nicht den „Schreihälsen“ überlassen – und feiert deshalb nun dort sein #Comeback. Diese Argumentation ist reichlich naiv, meint Matthias Schwarzer. Denn die Spielregeln auf der Plattform bestimmt ausschließlich einer.
