A new report from the folks at Kolon Industries says that foldable smartphones could make up 20 percent of overall market share, at least in South Korea, during the year after which they are expected to begin mass production.

As of now, there are three to five technology companies expected to mass produce foldable phones globally in 2018, according to Kang Chung-seok, an executive at Kolon Industries. The company’s flexible colorless polyimide division, headed by Kang, is currently the only one in the world capable of producing the material, which will become a key technology responsible for replacing rigid glass sheets with flexible films for use in foldable OLED devices.
