Also, smartphone makers are experimenting with technologies and features in their foldable smartphones, which can be seen in Samsung Galaxy Fold and Motorola Razr, as these phones have a unique design but prefers front-to-front fold display technology.
Furthermore, in April 2021, Oppo launched two new foldable phones in the market, both with an inward-folding design. Vivo is also expected to release a folding phone with an inwards folding design, while Xiaomi has already released the Mi MIX Fold.
Another trend that is propelling the foldable phone market is the implementation of work from-home culture. Rising viewership and increasing interest of individuals towards job opportunities that offer remote work has led increasing demand for reliable and efficient electronic products. This is anticipated to provide impetus to foldable phone sales in the forthcoming years.
