Verdict's out for tablets

📉 A report from the International Data Corporation shows that the PH tablet market declined by 26% year over year and 46% quarter over quarter in 1Q23.

📉 It has been two years since quarterly tablet shipments have dropped below two hundred thousand units, a pattern concurrent to the Philippines smartphone market which hit a 3-year low in the same quarter.

📉 Annual tablet shipments are expected in 2023 to return to pre-pandemic levels below 1 million units now that procurements among DepEd divisions and local government units have tapered off.

The implementation of online learning, along with government purchases, boosted the sales of tablet devices in the Philippines by 6.5 percent last year but shipments are expected to normalize with the return of in-person classes.
