The Philippine tablet market posted a double-digit drop in the first quarter of the year to hit the lowest shipment levels in three years, a recent report released by the International Data Corp. showed.
Broken down, the top five tablet companies in the country were Samsung which accounted for 19.6%, Lenovo at 18.1%, Huawei with 15.3%, Cherry Mobile with 11.6%, realme with 11.6%, and others with 25.8%. “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 three-year low in the same quarter,” IDC Philippines Client Devices senior market analyst Angela Medez said.
