It’s a conglomerate.
according to financial times citing and reporting Canalis According to research, the foldable smartphone market will record 14.2 million shipments worldwide in 2022, with Samsung alone shipping over 11 million units.

Chinese brand Huawei came in second with just under 2 million foldable smartphones shipped, while Oppo, vivo, Xiaomi, Honor and Motorola only shipped 40,000 foldable smartphones.
Having said that, Canalis expects foldable device shipments to double to 30 million in 2023. Also, the foldable device market is expected to become more interesting and competitive if Chinese brands launch foldable devices outside of China and challenge Samsung’s dominance in this segment.
