With the lockdowns due to COVID-19 pandemic, kids around the world are continuing their education at home. Similarly, more people are working from home than ever before.

Now, a new report by IDC says that Educational Tablet market in China also witnessed 29.9% YoY increase in the last quarter.

The IDC report points out the Educational Tablet Market in China to decline by 9.2% YoY in Q1 2020 but it was less compared to the ordinary tablet market’s 29.8% YoY decline. The research firm says that it was due to reduced production capacity and therefore, with improvement in production, China Educational Tablet Market grew 29.9% YoY in Q2 2020.
