A new report has revealed that Apple is projected to ship about 60 million units of its popular tablet lineup this year. The information arrives a year after the company’s iPad shipments started picking up after the Coronavirus pandemic.

According to a DigiTimes report, the Cupertino based giant is expected to ship 60 million units of iPads in 2021. This news arrives as the company is gearing up for the launch of its 9th generation of iPads next month. Furthermore, the iPhone maker’s tablets are still seeing robust sales into 2021, which carries forward its momentum from last year. Back in 2020, the brand’s iPad sales had grown every quarter, rising a whopping 79 percent year on year (Via PhoneArena).

Now, upcoming ninth generation of iPads is expected to arrive with minor changes sometime next month. Interestingly, a part of the 60 million Apple tablets being shipped this year includes the 2021 iPad mini, which will apparently arrive with one of the biggest redesign the series has seen since its first launch. It is reported that the new iPad mini could feature a design similar to the iPad Pro, with thinner bezels and a brushed aluminum rear panel. Additionally, the Touch ID is also expected to be integrated into the power button.

Global tablet shipments grew 53% YoY in Q1 2021 fuelled by the pandemic – Counterpoint

From China to India to the EMEA region, the tablet market has experienced a resurgence of sort propelled by the COVID 19 pandemic. Before this resurgence, the tablet market had been experiencing dwindling fortunes since the emergence of large display-packing smartphones. The resurgence started last year as a result of the lockdown which gave rise to the need to move classes online, hold virtual meetings, and work remotely. To get a clear idea of the growth level, China recorded its biggest growth in the tablet market since 2014 in Q3 2020.

Market research firm Counterpoint has now revealed that the global tablet market equally recorded a substantial 19% YoY growth in 2020. The industry saw demand for large-screen mobile devices spiral upwards as a result of the need to work remotely, as well as take online classes during the stay-at-home period. Even as restrictions are being eased up, the demand for tablets isn’t looking like what will come down soon. Counterpoint also reports that the industry grew by a staggering 53% YoY in Q1 2021 after reaching a five-year high in Q4 2020. However, the shipments fell by 22% on a Quarter-on-Quarter basis but that is due to the first quarter being an off-season period.

Samsung and Apple which have sustained their tablet business over the years recorded the biggest growth during the period as they expanded their market share in 2020 following the rising demand. This was made even easier for the duo since most OEMs had either closed or downsized their tablet market. Xiaomi, for instance, haven’t launched a new model since 2018 when the Mi Pad 4 was launched. The plight of Huawei which hitherto had a significant share of the market, also gifted some more market shares to Apple and Samsung.

The report also shows that Apple’s iPad shipments grew by 33% worldwide in 2020 compared to 2019, making it the market leader. The US company also saw an increase in its market share in Q1 2021 to 37%. The Cupertino-based company recorded impressive performance in all major regions globally but that of Japan continued to hover around an all-time high.

Tablet market in EMEA region to rise by 17% in Q1 2021: Report

The tablet market in the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa) is estimated to rise in the first quarter of this year. It is projected that the market for the large screen device market will rise by 17.1 percent year on year.

As per an IDC report, the bump in the market arrives amid the continued boost in the educational sectors across the globe. At the moment, various government programs are ongoing across the EMEA region to provide students with these personal computing devices or, at the very least, subsidize such products. According to Nikolina Jurisic, senior research manager at IDC, “Notable education deliveries will shape the market in early 2021, with high volumes expected to be shipped in developed and emerging economies alike.”

The researcher further added that the “tablet demand is expected to profit from supply shortages in components such as integrated circuits and panels that are primarily affecting entry-level notebooks, as the category stands out as an alternative for price-sensitive consumers.” While the first quarter is expected to register a strong first quarter, the overall tablet shipment in the EMEA region is projected to fall by 10.5 percent year on year in 2021.

Daniel Gonalves, another researcher from IDC stated that “Even though the total addressable market has increased, we believe it is heavily skewed towards traditional notebooks, and after all the education deals are deployed there will be an unfavorable year on year comparison for tablets. However, a scenario of near normal in the second half of the year is expected to benefit ultra versatile devices such as detachables in enterprise. As professionals adopt a hybrid approach between office and remote working, mobility becomes an increasingly indispensable feature which can largely benefit iOS and Windows based detachables.”

Jeet — Tue, 09 Feb 2021 05:42:21 +0000

Last year witnessed growth in the computer market as well as tablets as people were stuck at home because of the COVID-19 pandemic. As per the latest report coming from IDC, the tablet market witnessed a growth of 13.6 percent in terms of sales in the year 2020.

In total, 164.1 million tablets were shipped, which is more than 144.5 million devices shipped a year prior to that. Unsurprisingly, Apple was the market leader throughout the year in this segment.

The report claims that Apple managed to ship 19 million iPads in the four quarter of 2020 alone, showcasing its dominance in the market. In total, the Cupertino-based giant managed to ship 53.2 million units last year, covering 32.5 percent market.

Samsung came in at the second position with shipments of 10.1 million Galaxy Tabs in Q4 2020, which is a growth of 45 percent compared to the same period previous year. The company got a market share of 19.1 percent.

Despite struggling to keep its consumer electronics business afloat, Chinese giant Huawei managed to be in the top 5 tablet brands for the year 2020, thanks to the company’s shipment of 16 million units in the last year, getting 9.8 percent market share.

Lenovo, the China-based company, stood fourth with 5.6 million shipments in Q4 2020, up 2.5 million shipments in Q4 2019. In total, the company shipped 14.1 million units last year and managed to get 8.6 percent market share.

According to a DigiTimesResearch report, global tablet shipments had climbed to a 13 quarter high during the fourth quarter of last year, reaching 51.56 million units. However, this figure is expected to decline by 31 percent during the first quarter of this year. Shipments of tablets last year rose by 17.6 percent sequentially in Q4 2020 and by 19.3 percent annually year on year. This surge was backed by growing demand for large screen devices for online education and work from home demands due to the pandemic.

With the demand for tablets growing, various vendors also raised their component orders with their suppliers over fears of the deterioration of chip supply/shortages that might affect their supply chain in the first half of 2021. Apple launching the 10.2 inch iPad had also resulted in the bump in tablet shipments during the final quarter of last year. The fall in shipment numbers in this quarter is also due to the period traditionally being a slower season for tablet sales.

In 2020, the global tablet shipments reached 159.76 million units, which marked a year on year rise primarily due to the pandemic. Although, the shipments are expected to face an on year decline this year because of component shortages within the first half of the year. At the moment, the lead times for new orders for tablet chips is around 20 weeks. In other words, the supply shortage is unlikely to recover until the end of the second half of 2021.

With the world combating the Coronavirus pandemic, more and more sectors and industries have seen a shift towards the digital spheres. Education is one such big example as an increasing number of universities, schools, and other institutions are shifting their respective curriculum online. Through this, it is projected that the tablet market will see growth this year thanks to a rise in demand.

This includes electronic gadgets like projectors, printers, and even tablets. According to a new report from IDC, the tablet PC shipments will see a nearly 100 percent year on year growth during the month of February 2020.

Furthermore, this sudden growth was also well maintained at the 50 percent growth rate in the following month of March 2020. These numbers are inclusive of regular tablets that are available alongside educational tablets PCs that have also been more common release in recent weeks. Educational tablets are gadgets that are more focused towards younger audiences with built in educational resources related to the curriculum, with controlled and pre-installed applications as well.

In the IDC report, China’s tablet market is seeing continuous growth during this period. Back in 2019, over 4 million units of educational tablets were shipped, while 4.4 million units are expected to ship in 2020 and 4.7 million in 2021. This is a stark contrast against the declining regular tablet market, with the former becoming more popular. At the moment, educational tablets are witnessing healthy demand, with figures revealing a similar trend.
