During the first half of 2026, the global shipments of foldable smartphone display panels experienced a 13% year-on-year decrease. This downturn was primarily attributable to a decline in clamshell-style panels. In contrast, shipments of large foldable panels demonstrated resilience, continuing their upward trajectory. Projections for 2026 indicate a significant surge in large foldable panel shipments, with an anticipated 107% year-on-year increase, propelling their market share to 81%. Conversely, clamshell panel shipments are expected to plummet by 59% year-on-year, resulting in a reduced market share of 16%. Meanwhile, multi-fold panel shipments are set to rise by 14% year-on-year, maintaining their market presence at approximately 3%. The overall annual rebound in the foldable display panel market is primarily driven by the growing popularity of book-style large foldable products.
