But in the second quarter, shipment of the tablets increased by 9 per cent compared to the first quarter to reach 0.86 Million.
Karan Thakkar, senior market analyst at IDC, noted, “This recovery was fueled by multiple factors. Business sentiments have shown improvement post elections and near term prospects are anticipated to remain better too. Further, traditional PC OEMs have started making big inroads in the tablet market and most of this success is led by leveraging their vast expanded reach through multiple distribution points.”
Kiran Kumar, research manager (client devices) at IDC, said, “Improved discretionary spends by end-users and festive buying is expected to drive growth in the tablet market in the coming quarters. IDC anticipates this to be well supported by the optimism witnessed around enterprise IT spending in the recent past.”
