  "account": "TrendForce anticipates Apple will command roughly 30% of the worldwide foldable smartphone market by 2027, up from 24.8% in 2026, according to the latest industry forecast. Samsung is projected to maintain its top position, albeit with a slight decline in market share from 35.1% to 31.9%. Huawei is predicted to occupy the third spot, with its share shrinking from 24.8% to 21.3%. The research firm estimates around five million iPhone Duo units will be sold in 2026, while foldable smartphone shipments are anticipated to expand by only 0.5% during the same period.
