5G Tablet Shipments Surge 86% YoY in Q3
The latest report by CyberMedia Research (CMR) revealed that 5G tablet shipments experienced an impressive 86 per cent year-on-year (YoY) growth in Q3, accounting for 16 per cent of overall tablet shipments. This indicates a significant shift in consumer preferences towards tablets with 5G capabilities.
Despite this growth in the 5G tablet segment, the overall tablet market in India saw a decline of 10 per cent YoY. However, the premium tablet PC segment, which includes devices priced at Rs 30,000 and above, witnessed a remarkable 79 per cent quarter-on-quarter (QoQ) growth.
In terms of market share, Apple led the pack with 26 per cent, experiencing a 20 per cent YoY growth, followed closely by Samsung (21 per cent) and Lenovo (20 per cent). Xiaomi also saw a substantial 98 per cent YoY growth from a small base in the period, reflecting the increasing demand for 5G tablets.
According to Menka Kumari, an Analyst at CMR, the robust growth of Apple, Realme, and Xiaomi signals a shift in consumer preferences at both the premium and value-for-money end of the tablet PC market. With the continued proliferation of 5G, there is an anticipation for an increasingly dynamic and seamless user experience across various applications and services.
Looking ahead, the overall tablet market in India is expected to experience single-digit YoY growth in 2023. The substantial growth in market shares for key players like Apple, Realme, and Xiaomi reflects a growing demand for diverse tablet options in India, as stated by Kumari.
