Global Tablet News Today

Uncover the significant decline in tablet shipments and the resilience of Chromebooks in Q2 2023. Get insights from IDC's new report.

The International Data Corporation (IDC) announced that the global tablet shipment in the first quarter of 2023 was 30.7 million units, a 19.1% decrease compared to 2022. Although there was a decline, it is merely returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Despite issues such as the global economy showing no sign of recovery and the slow season having limited tablet brands shipment in the earlier half of the first quarter of 2023, tablet brands are starting to place short-term orders at the end of the quarter to replenish their channel inventories. This is expected to benefit overall tablet shipments worldwide to see only a minor drop from a quarter ago, according to DIGITIMES Researchs latest figures from the tablet report.
