MANILA, June 6, 2023 – According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) Worldwide Quarterly Personal Computing Device Tracker, the Philippines tablet market both declined 26.6% year over year (YoY) and 46.7% 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,” says Angela Medez, Client Devices Senior Market Analyst at IDC Philippines.

IDC expects annual tablet shipments to be back to pre-pandemic levels below 1 million units beginning in 2023 now that commercial segment have slowed down as procurements among DepEd Divisions and Local Government Units (LGU) have tapered off.
